Inches Per Second

Turn on the reel to reel tape recorder. Take the tape out of the box. Put the empty reel on the right spindle, and the full reel on the left spindle. Wind the tape through the mechanisms - including the pinch rollers, the capstan and the rest. The tape is pressed against the heads and moves at a certain number of inches per second. Start the machine. And sometimes... if you're lucky... magic comes spilling out of the speakers. That magic is what I hope to share here.

Christmas with Greg and Randy

Every now and then I come across a tape featuring a recording from some family's home, featuring that family's Christmas morning celebration.

Today, I am featuring one of these tapes, which I've named after the two young boys heard on the tape, "Christmas with Greg and Randy". I don't really have anything else to say about it, as these tapes tend to speak for themselves. For those of you who enjoy the "fly-on-the-wall" home recordings that I've shared from time to time, I think this is a pretty good one.
