@#6

Yup.

I also noticed in that video the analog tape recorders using 10 1/2 reels of 2 inch wide audio tape.

I have such a reel of audio tape upstairs on a shelf.

I have no idea what is on that reel of tape.

I obtained the reel back nearly 5 decades ago when I worked for a record company. The company at the time was cleaning up ~stuff~ and that reel of tape was destined for the trash. The reel was in an odd place in the building, I was curious about it. So I asked the appropriate Manager if I could have it. He said,, "take it."

As I said, I have no idea of what may be on that reel of audio tape, but it was from a major record label back then.

I have no means to listen to that tape, as my tape players were all 1/4 inch consumer types.

Oh well...

" I have no means to listen to that tape"

Find one. Call local (old) recording studios to see if they have the equipment, and if not, who they think might. Failing that, try to buy a player on FB Marketplace, and use the tape for the test run.

And please let us know the outcome.

@#10 ... Find one ...

I did that with a similarly-attained 1/2 inch 7 inch reel of tape.

Back then, I knew someone in the industry.

Turns out, the tape was a video recording of an old Johnny Cash concert.

So, I contacted the Johnny Cash Museum and asked them if they wanted the donation ...

Yeah, I may start down that path again ...

Five for Fighting - Easy Tonight (2001)
www.youtube.com

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
You were wrong
You were right
And you are gone
Tonight

You were free
So alive
You were wrong
You were right

And you were down
You could see
And you wore hearts
For me

And you were sharp
Sharp as knives
You were wrong
You were right
...


(I did not know, before i heard this tune, that "five for fighting" was an ice hockey term.)

An amazing music show.

Here's another tune for that show ...

@#18 ... An amazing music show. ...

I did not know ...

Austin City Limits
en.wikipedia.org

... Austin City Limits is an American live music television program recorded and produced by Austin PBS.

The show helped Austin become widely known in the United States as the "Live Music Capital of the World",[1] and is the only television show to receive the National Medal of Arts, which it was awarded in 2003.[2]

It also won a rare institutional Peabody Award in 2011 "for its more than three decades of presenting and preserving eclectic American musical genres".[3] ...

But, back to the tunes ...

Bleachers - Modern Girl (2023)
www.youtube.com

And, if I may add, the lead singer of the Bleachers was a member of the band Fun which appeared on an Austin City Limits show in January of 2014.

Lemme see if I can find it ...

@#20

OK, PBS now seems to be only offering a couple minute "preview" of that amazing show, instead of the full show they used to offer.

@#23 ... You don't know Austin City Limits? ...

As I stated in #18 ...

I've been enjoying that show for decades.

What I did not know was the accolades that the show has earned.

And, imo, rightfully so.

Now, let's get back to the tunes ...


#24 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-07-26 02:06 AM

One you do not hear often (if ever) on streaming ...

Payola$ - Where Is This Love (1983)

#25 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-07-26 02:12 AM

Focus 3 (not the frantic mess that is Hocus Pocus)

Got to see these guys a couple of times when Hocus Pocus was charting.
Jan Akkerman remains one of the best guitarists I ever saw.
