| RCA 45 Record Player like I had as a kid |
I watched the DVD "Girl, Interrupted" last night. I have a vague recollection of seeing it in the theater with SueZQ, but had very little memory of what happened in the film.
The song "Downtown" jumped out at me and played a part in the film. I however posted it in my old blog on 8-Nov-2012.
This song was playing when Suzanna woke up at Daisy's apartment. Lisa commented that Daisy had been playing it all morning. I immediately thought Daisy had committed suicide and it was a record player that repeated the last record over and over, like my old RCA 45 player. It turned out that was exactly what the record player was. A different model than mine, but the same mechanism.
I went searching for a picture of one and found the website shown above. It is crazy that (admittedly restored) players like the one I had are for sale for $720!!
I also have this 45 RPM record.
