The first jukebox in 1898! Are there still any around? I used to like going to the local diner, putting a coin in the table-top jukebox and playing some songs while we ate.

Good morning, Dorie... I remember the assassination of JFK as if it happened yesterday. One of those seminal moments in one's life when one never forgets where they were and how they felt.

I remember when Toy Story was first advertised and all those toys were something from our pasts. What a great time reminiscing!

Dorie I had no idea jukeboxes had been around that long. I did not even think they had the technology to make them in 1898.
