The music lives on.

Hey hep-cats, hipsters, guys and gals, boys and girls, and all you out there in blogville, The vinyl 45 RPM is now over sixty five years old yet it continues to inspire  entertain and delight listeners of all ages. Who knew in 1949 that a seven inch round disc of vinyl would usher in the greatest revolution in music since Edison. Without the 45 rock 'n' roll would not have happened when it did. Top 40 radio could still be an idea in someone's thoughts. FM Radio might still be an experimental alternative and bloggers writing about the 45 would have no audience. There are plenty of websites to visit and learn about the 45 and it's impact on us. Collectable vinyl is bigger than ever. You can still buy brand new knockoffs or repros of legendary hits as well as new 45s of some new artists. When the Chevy went to the levee the music never really died. Elvis may have left the room but his old 45s still live on and delight millions. Look through the attic, basement or closet and discover music history that may have been forgotten there. Remember a first dance or first kiss. Kids, pull out some of those old 45s and watch your parents or grandparents eyes light up. Listen to the pure unpretentious melodies that fueled the soundtracks of so many lives. Not all of it was Grammy worthy but it all was 45 worthy and proof that the music lives on.
