The term "jukebox" came into use around 1940, derived from the familiar usage of "juke joint" - from a Gullah word "joog" - meaning disorderly, rowdy or wicked.
Today, I saw the latest technology being installed, for a Jukebox, in a tavern down the road. Rowe's NGX, their "next generation jukebox", allows for a direct play & pay through the personal use of a phone app. This technology will also allow for future large screen video synchronization.
Returned the next day for the finished product. Rowe's / AMI "next generation".
Nice, still no where near the joy of seeing a "45" come up to take a spin.
