As of tonight, I can't say I never learned anything from a Hallmark film.

The Watsons go to Birmingham have the family getting a record player in the car.

I thought this sounded crazy. My mom thought it sounded crazy and she was alive back then.

It DID exist!

Here's a vintage RCA in action...it's so weird to see a record player that works upside down...

Phil should totally get one for Lola.

I read the book this summer because our sixth graders are reading it this year and had the same reaction then proceeded to look it up too.

That is a bit of an odd arrangement.
