Walkman Sony

I fondly remember saving up what money I could to be able to by a Walkman and then it would get abused like any other child's thing and I would have to start the process all over. Then it was the discman that I was doing the same thing with and I would always have to by the one with bass boost and I would get the little speakers to hook up to it so I could jam out wherever I was.
