Stereo Song (Remember Me Songs, 4)

When Herself was a very young teen, her parents bestowed a stereo upon her.  It was probably reasonably technologically current at the time, although it seems archaic now:  it played records and also had an 8-track cassette player.  Nifty!  She can still picture the stereo clearly in her mind's eye.

At the time, Herself had not yet become accustomed to listening to the radio, and was only allowed to play classical music on the piano; and so, she did not know of any particular artists to request.  Her parents selected and provided a few albums and 8-track cassettes for her.  One of the cassettes included a song by Seals & Crofts - Hummingbird.

She does not particularly care for Seals & Crofts now.  Every once and a while, though, she enjoys listening to Hummingbird, and thinks fondly of the way the cassette player would "ku-klunk" as it changed tracks. Ah, the stereo - a magical piece of equipment that brought new varieties of music into her life so long ago.
