I might not even need $50 'cause I found an old Joan Baez album on eBay for 99 cents. :) It doesn't matter that I have NO WAY to play it. I just loved the cover so much.
I think it's beautiful. Like a piece of art. I put it on my mantel so I can enjoy it every day. The first song is one called "There But For Fortune". These are the lyrics. Quite powerful. Now if I can just find a used record player...
Show me a prisoner whose face has grown pale
And I'll show you a young man
With many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I
Show me an alley, show me a train
Show me a hobo who sleeps out in the rain
And I'll show you a young man
With many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I
Show me the whiskey stains on the floor
Show me a drunk as he stumbles out the door
And I'll show you a young man
With many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I
Show me a country where the bombs had to fall
Show me the ruins of buildings so tall
And I'll show you a young land
With many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I
You or I
Powerful indeed....

I went online to see if I could find you a record player and they are expensive!!! I couldn't believe it! Maybe a GoodWill will have one? I dunno girlie! If not, you could FRAME the record and hang it on the wall. It is a pretty record cover!
