For spring break Samantha went home to visit her Mother, this time she was on a mission to go through a special box holding her late father's favorite records. Her Mom was going to donate them to charity but Samantha thought it might be nice to make a playlist from them first and then sell or donate them. Once the playlist was made and she started to listen she went up to his office, sat in his favorite chair and pulled out each album to see the cover art as each album started to play. Then, as the songs played, she pulled out each record album and stared at the track to experience each one as he did not that long ago.

She remembered the sounds drifting through the house as he liked to play his music loud, he had an amazing stereo system so it always sounded good. She would sit on the floor next to the system and listen with him, singing along as she learned the lyrics of many. Then she got an idea, she wondered if his favorite old headphones would work with her ipod, she found an adapter in a drawer and soon she was listening to his favorite songs through his Koss Pro 4ax's he was so proud of when he got them. She wistfully drifted off underscored by familiar songs from a happier time.
