Remember the "fast side" and the "slow side" tapes? Those were the best...I used to record off my records so I could listen to my old skool in the car...shame! :) I used to love to hear the crackle of an LP while I was driving in my Caddy...in 1995!

Mixed tapes where all of the songs followed some kind of theme were the funniest to create. Of course, you can still do so on CD, but something is lost in the process somehow. Also, stealing music before I knew I was stealing music. You know, the same as you mentioned borrowing someones elses tapes to record music off of or borrowing yours out to them.

I STILL use them! Just kidding. But I do remember while using background music tapes to sing at prison ministry or weddings and whomever was running the music started the side with the Demo voice. So after the intro when I started to sing, here comes Andre Crouch or Yolanda Adams SINGING WITH ME! THEN because it was a tape you had to "talk" while they flipped the tape over and rewind it to the right spot...you could only say "Let's give the Lord a praise offering" so many times until the audience started to know something was wrong. Yes I have sweated my way out of many cassette adventures! What memory? I STILL use them! Just kidding.
