RE: The Story of My Life so Far - Part 27 - A year as an Aspirant de Marine at École Navale
I think you could write a whole short story, in and of itself, on what it was like to not be allowed to listen to music. I love the rebellious part of this with a turntable (not a small discreet radio... no... a turntable!).
Sorry to hear you've had writer's block (try wine? write drunk, edit sober?... ha!)--so nice to see a new post from you!
Thank you for your comment.
Was I a rebel then? No, I don't think so.
With a "small discreet radio", there would have been the risk that it would disappear. And I would not be able to complain to the administration, as it would have been illegal.
The whole apparatus of turntable, amplifier and loudspeakers was too big to disappear without a trace.
I can't imagine a life without music
so I get your what you call "illegal music"
it was pretty strict back then I noticed
done country hopping and back home I guess?
Yes, I am back in British Columbia.
Next trip end of July to visit @papa-pepper with my grandson @naru-celier.

wow Papa will get to see you up close and personal
good luck!
