Daytime Television

<p>A week ago I got a mini-cassette recorder off of eBay for something like $25 and I digitized a bunch of these micro cassettes I had.  My dad had a micro cassette dictaphone when we were little and when he didn&apos;t have a secretary, which is what they called them in those days, it just sat in his office.  Then years later my sister and I found it and started playing with it.  One of the pieces I play here is from a tape that had me and some guy named Eric talking for about an hour.  I don&apos;t even know who Eric is.  At one point we say to my sister that we hate each other but we just hang out cuz no one else is around.  That&apos;s how neighborhoods worked in the old days.  You were much more tolerant of people you didn&apos;t like to the point where you&apos;d spend the whole day playing video games.  <br/><br/>So there&apos;s that and an old 4 track recording of a song I did with Steve about kissing a man.  There&apos;s also an old cassette I found of me jamming with Rick Finn.  When you&apos;re a young musician you&apos;re encouraged to record yourself so you can hear yourself and have a somewhat objective opinion.  It&apos;s the best way to improve.  I don&apos;t know what people did before recording devices existed.  They probably just endured endless criticisms.  That must be why the Amish always look so depressed.</p><a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/shotgunmike">Support the show</a><p>hunchbunny.com</p>
