Do you sing along with a song?
Once I listened to music and learned lyrics by heart.
My first record player was a birthday present. My grandfather gave 100 guldens (Dutch florin) before he died and I could choose what I wanted. A Dual record player (red) was my present. I was seven years old.
My second record player was a Grundig and radio was build in.
I listened to radio station Caroline and another "pirate" (both broadcasted from a ship) and BBC radio. At that time I played the same record for weeks and wrote the lyrics down.
I had a walkman later a Discman and my daughter gave me her old Grundig mp3 player.
I took it with me as I traveled by plane or abroad. I still have it in the drawer of my side table and it works fine. I do not like earphones so I no longer use it. The only time I travel is by car. It's only a few times a year abroad.
If, I drive without music most of the time. I do no longer care about it and the children sleep or listen to their own music.
Earlier I took some CDs with me but they disappeared. If the radio was too boring or there was no clear connection we listened to Clannad, Tanita Tikaram, Tracy Chapman, Queen and some CDs my daughter burned for me with all kinds of artists. Each year she made me some.
My favourite songs while traveling are those I know and can sing along with or songs, performances that make me laugh.
Mainly artists/hits from the 70' and 80'.
If I am lucky I hear them at a radio station.
My car's radio doesn't have a USB so I cannot use the MP3 player otherwise I could listen to "Ome Henk".
I prefer not to switch the radio on because I get tired of hearing for 27 hours exactly the same songs and commercials. It's better to drive in silence.

Thank you for the tip 💕
Yeah but 538 in the morning and afternoon is great you could tune into radio10 or veronica. 😉
They all play the same songs and abroad they do not broadcast. Thanks for stopping by. I wish you a great day/weekend. 💕
Most of the time, the melody stays, but I hardly remember the lyrics.

Perhaps the melody is enough for you?
If my kids say a word or remark something there's always a song or some lines I can sing that fits in. 😄
Happy day/weekend. 💕
También me gustó viajar con las canciones de los 70 y los 80 jajajaja.
Yah, radio stations tend to repeat songs within the hour. You can probably hear the same song 5 times or more a day. Ah the days of walkman and discman :) Sweet of your daughter to burn you some songs. I used to sit in the dark, in front of a radio cassette player and wait for my songs to be played on air before hitting the record button.
A cassette player was great too. I still have cassettes. Kate Bush and some others. My records are partly lost and a part I gave to my eldest. I still regret that. I played a record endlessly and it was a better quality as the cd and DVD.

It is hard to find cassette players now. I have many cassettes but all my players are spoiled. My parents had records and a record player but I didn't try playing it. Now, I do not know where they are. Should have kept them. That is my regret. Take care there @wakeupkitty <3
The last walkman I bought was in Germany perhaps 6 years ago it was new. At that time it was not sold in the Netherlands since years. Perhaps Aliexpress or Wizz sells them?
Record players can be bought again. My two youngest have one including USB and something else. My eldest has old record players also part of the vintage collection (at home and shop).
