He spotted a collection of old vinyl records. He carefully pulled them out of the boxes one by one, examining their covers. His mouth curved upwards in a wide grin as he read the names of bands and artists he'd only read about in history books.

"Yes! Yes!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with an almost childish glee. He imagined the melodies filling the house.
