You know the box.
The box full of tapes.
The box that  follows you around for years, then disappears.

If you're like me, the thought of  those lost tapes gives you a sleepless night from time to time.

A few months ago in the middle of one of those nights I got an idea that eventually led me to my old box of tapes.They were in a storage building that burned about ten years ago and they have been sitting in a soup of decaying wood and cardboard since the fire. I threaded them up anyway, and many of them played quite well.  

This first tape was made in 1971. I had a Zenith Trans Oceanic hooked up to a Wollensak tape recorder. The Rock of Chicago was rolling in and out of my dorm room in Douglas, Georgia. Here is one of John Records Landecker's first nights in the Windy City.
