Today is National Vinyl Record Day! Gary Freiberg of Los Osos, California founded National Vinyl Record Day commemorating the day Thomas Edison invented the phonograph in 1877. Freiberg encourages everyone to remember fond memories and the good things in life, especially vinyl records. Today, take some time to dive into your collection, throw on a record and experience the music – crackles, pops and all.
