Merry Christmas. SEASONS GREETINGS. I will ride tomorrow, but celebrate today.

What is it?

A Victrola record player. But then, you probably knew that and were commenting on the fact that such things ceased to exist long ago. That and your winky emoji!

Modernized version that also plays FM, Cassettes, CDs, Mp3 and anything with a Bluetooth feed. I am disappointed that there are no fine tuning speed adjustments on the turntable, and no neutral so we can spin it backwards. But daughter just wants to do the vintage vinyl thing. Seems like it would be fun - until you hear your first warped and snap-crackle pop song. The novelty wears quickly.

Points if you can tell me what's spinning on the platter. There's a tiny piece of the album cover visible in the picture (along with the more obvious clue).

And if you correctly guess the album and artist, you can no doubt tell me what song is being tracked at the moment the photo was taken.

Daughter's major present this year... (she's spoiled rotten as an only child):

Elton John, Madman Across the Water?

Good get. What track? - without using the interwebs...

Title - not number.

That's really good form, especially for a bike without suspension! Fisting the bars even! Go Santa!

Now don’t go picking the Santa Clause pic apart… even though those shifting and brake cables go nowhere.

Victrola is a brand name. Technically it refers to the original hand cranked talking machines. What you have is the ebike version.

I think the version you captured is superior in that it has micro-speed adjustment.
