Must be a kitchen worker. Screwing up lyrics to the music we were listening to was one of our chief past times while cooking back in the last millenium. We'll make great pets becomes we'll make grape pez. How people cook without music is beyond me. And screwing up the lyrics keeps things fun and light.

Based on our limited interactions and you telling me how old your kid is... didn't just about everyone have an under cabinet radio or disc player back in the 80s or 90s? The house my ex and I bought in Georgia the state donkeys years ago had a fm/am tuner with cd player, real fancy stuff under the cabinet at the very end of the kitchen where the walk in pantry began. it played through speakers in the ceiling of the kitchen.

I know just about every house had one of these in the us at one point and probably still do but it does apple music now or whatever. or maybe I'm so old I think this was normal and very few had one, but I remember almost every house I walked into in the 80s and 90s and early 2000s had some form of music or radio player hooked up in a slim package under the cabinets.

In the restaurant kitchen we used a boom box. At home, I was the guy with the huge Cerwin Vega's you could hear down the block.

Never heard of it. I think the smart connect docks have made these old systems obsolete or they still exist. if you were really fancy you had a small crt tv in the kitchen in the counter or a pull out foldable flat panel under the cabinets, but that's a 2000s thing. we had one ourselves but on its own stand. 13 or 16 inches, toshiba or samsung. even had speakers on the side or back!useful to watch the morniing news then. news over online was a thing but had not really caught on with the public. newspapers were still popular.

It's your sister, thinking her kid inherited my dna, when she doinked me last week.

Knew I should have avoided the banjo music.
My sister doesn't like gutter trash. Hell she doesn't even like me very much because I always picked on her as a child. I like her husband and his family and the kids more than I like my own sister fwiw.

I have that exact same player in my kitchen. I have nothing further to add.

It is timeless, completely practical. Off the countertop, windowsill, table and out of the way.
