Lombard Historical Society (LHS) presents “Vinyl Warning: Living Life at 33 1/3 RPM”, a Carriage House Exhibit, that will give visitors a fresh look at music on vinyl. Zack Warning, a recent Willowbrook High School grad, collects music on vinyl, old and new, and shares his thoughts and feelings about the music on his Instagram account; 1,504 followers and counting. Zack embodies a rebirth of the enthusiasm that teenagers of the seventies experienced when a new record came out that they wanted to share with all their friends, usually in the “basement”, the kind of basement that millennials know from “That Seventies Show”. Only in this case, the basement is virtual, and his “friends” number 1,504.

The name of the exhibit, Vinyl Warning: Living Life at 33 1/3 RPM, is the name of the Instagram account that Zack started in 2017, where he posts artfully arranged pictures of albums and incredibly beautiful vinyl selected from his collection of hundreds. Album covers, vividly coloured vinyl, posters and inserts from several of his choice albums will be on display, as well as a listening station, where visitors can spin one of his many records. Also on display will be several of his Instagram postings and a mystery closet with a unique musical exhibit.

People old enough to regret tossing their vinyl collections and turntables, as well as people young enough to think of vinyl as cheap car interiors, will all love this fun, nostalgic for some, visually stimulating exhibit.

The Vinyl Warning Exhibit Opening is 7:00 pm on Thursday, August 2, 2018 in the Carriage House. Light refreshments will be served. Be there or be square!
