(Some days I think I might have been born in the wrong decade…)

There’s something about the white noise – those little crackles – that I like. Maybe it’s just nostalgia – carrying me back to my childhood, when my audio books were 45’s – played on a record player like the one in the video.

So, what about you? Is there something that makes you feel sentimental?
