BTW -- For you "young uns" -- that Ivory colored thing on the coffee table -- that is a P H O N E as in Ma Bell... Pre Verizon or any of these other new fangled devices. Yes - it was actually hooked into the wall... and you could roam around with it any further than the cable allowed - and it had no "memory". You actually had to remember your friends numbers or you looked things up in the WHITE PAGES or businesses in the YELLOW PAGES...

Note the BOSTON "album" -- they were made out of plastic and played on a turntable... 33 1/3 RPM... Yes I still own it... along with a few zillion other albums... you know -- like "Meet the Beatles".... and the Dave Clark Five... and old Stones..
