This story reminded me of the new Taylor Swift song with the lyric, “You’re on your own, kid. You always have been.” The truth is even those of us that have always been on our own have also had people like Milo at key moments. Another memorable story!
I really appreciate it, Jason, thank you! So true. I hope we have all have (or had) a Milo or two in our lives. Haven’t listened to her new album yet, but I’ll have to check out that song!
I loved this one, Justin. For some reason, Jimmy reminded me of one of our old students... not an old soul, but certainly a quirky one... EC. This story is very atmospheric, too. I can almost feel Jimmy walking home with his record player.
Thank you, Andrea. Haha, that’s very interesting! EC with the long hair, right? Or do you mean the other EC? Either way your comment made me smile. I’m really happy you liked this one. 😄
Haha! That was my first guess, which makes sense, but then I said...hmm...wait a minute. Both ECs were characters in their own way, ha! I can see how Jimmy reminded you of our long-haired friend. 🤣

The details in this story! Big Red and weed in particular.
Thanks Amie - really appreciate it!
Grateful for all of the Milos that come into my life!
Great story. 🙌🏼
Likewise! Thank you so much! 🙏
The other EC would not be that interested in a record player, is my guess. By the way, heard that GP is working in Red Hook!!!!
I heard that too through the grapevine! I haven’t bumped into him yet, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.
EC with the long hair! LOL. I forgot we had two students with these initials. Definitely not the other one!

This was lovely, Justin! I have a feeling Jimmy will be acquiring some pretty special records in the near future.
Thanks so much, Claire! I really appreciate it. I have a feeling Milo will either loan him some or give him a few. 😀
What a great story, Justin. I loved the characters. It is the people in our life that make it special and you captured that.
Thank you very much for the kind words, Mark!
Very nice and atmospheric story, Justin! I’m certain Milo will give Jimmy some vinyls to play at home. 😁
Thanks, Jenise! Haha, I agree. I think Milo would fix that problem rather quickly! 😄
I love stories about music and the places that keep music alive.
I’m happy to hear you enjoyed “Old Soul”, Bill. Thanks for reading!
