Ln310 51 Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 For Thanksgiving, a kind member here, Walrus Gumboot, sent me his pristine TDR 2400 dual cassette deck free of charge, as a gift, because I don’t have a cassette player, can’t afford one and I have hundreds of my old live gig tapes on audio cassette and no way to listen to them! This has been one of the greatest gifts of my life really- the kindness of a stranger and rediscovering my musical past. Thank you to everyone that helped him find me and especially thanks to him for making my year. Merry Christmas everyone! 1 6 9 Link to post Share on other sites

Truth. 2020 has sucked in so many ways - but, yet, in light of that, there are bright points of light in every dark day (year). Great to highlight one! I'm sure there are many more. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites

4krow 2,731 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Now is it just me, or is that the 'drummer' in the live performances in the photo? I only got to play a short presentation performance with my father. Wish there were more. This inspires me to offer the A220 amp of mine up for Karma. Keep watch. BTW, yes, the folks at this site have been incredible in what they have offered back and forth. Thanks all for the help and more over the years. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Brian_at_HHH 2,008 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Wow! Had that collection of tapes been "ordinary" cassettes, this would have been really really awesome. Given the treasure of what is on those tapes, that takes this to an incredible new level! WAY TO GO W.G.!!!!! WELL DONE, Sir! @Ln310 enjoy those and please preserve them if you can. Far too much of such recordings have either been lost been lost or just lost to enjoyment. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
