    Ah, I recall the year. I was in 6th grade, 1975/76. My teacher, Mrs. Letts, was the coolest. It's when I discovered I loved Ballroom Blitz! On rainy days, she'd grab a stack of 45 records, throw em on an old turntable, & we'd jam. We often pushed back the desks & danced. It's the only year I liked school at all. Mrs. Letts & The Sweet were the bomb. Both got me thru an awkward, tough year.
    For all you young-uns out there, a 45 record is a small black disc with grooves in it. It's spun in circles on a turntable. An arm with a needle on it is placed on the spinning disc, which plays the music embedded in the grooves! It was cool! It was GROOVY, baby! 🤣😁👍
