Here you can see my 15 year old self demonstrating how light my Record was with the prized two finger lift.

Cool longer Sean Cassidy (Andy Gibb??) hair, no tatts, no beards, no weird clothes, no Lexus tee-shirts, no smartphones, no weird hair colors. 1970's youth class!
I turned 15 in the year 1979 and looked like the boys in the Brady Bunch.
Was that picture taken with a Kodak Instamatic, a Brownie Hawkeye camera or a Polaroid One Step?
