Record Breaking Ensemble

A few weeks ago on a very rainy, lemony afternoon I got an incoming phone call for "Lemon Thrift". It was a student from UMBC wondering if we still had records 2 for $1.oo on sale. I told the young voice on the phone that of course we did and to come on by and pick some out! A half an hour later and dripping wet, a young girl knocked on the door and thumbed through our orange crate of records. "We don't really have the best selection in there, all the good stuff's in my room. But for less than a buck a record you can't really go wrong..." She agreed but told me that the records weren't really for listening. "I'm doing a project at school and I actually have to make an entire outfit out of music."
Well... needless to say I hope she gets an A! After she explained the intricacy of her project I told her to pour over the vinyl and to take her pick at as a many as she wanted for only $5! I threw in some 45's for good measure (which I see she used to make a nifty pair of sunglasses?) and she couldn't have been more pleased.
