The Walkman 1978-2010 R.I.P.





Sony has announced that they will no longer be making The Walkman. 

In memory of my old Walkman {and my long ago youth }, a few songs that got the rewind button as I laid, on foil, bored with the tedium of long summers in the backyard,  covered in baby oil. ahh to be so blithely unaware.

So very sad, and a sign of the times.

I wonder some days if we really are better off than we were 20 yrs ago?
Huummmm.....

OMG- that is too funny- I was just thinking about my first Walkman yesterday! Judging by your song pics I must be older than you, but I remember coming back home to Vancouver after living in Tokyo for several months, with my new Walkman. I swear I was one of the first Walkman Wearers in town and I thought I was just the #$%^&!!
Now I love my SoundHound App. but never have enough time to download all my new musical finds.

RIP Walkman is right!
