I bought them. I had them (needed tunes to drive to when I got a car) but we used them to listen to go-go music (DC girl) or to record music from the radio. The latter was memorable because there were a couple of trips I took to visit relatives in NYC.  Boom Boxes and hip-hop were the thing, so I had to record this music I was hearing from the radio as it was different from what we were listening to in DC.</p><p>*You can also get a taste of go-go in episode 27 <i>A Good Beat</i> (<i>Pump Me Up, </i>E Flat Boogie, Trouble Funk, 1982)*</p><p><i><strong>CD? MP3? </strong></i></p><p>Can’t think of the first one, but I do remember listening to Anita Baker’s Compositions the first time and thinking it was one of the best sounding, best engineered CDs ever.</p><p><i><strong>What is your go to getting ready to go out musical genre/song? </strong></i></p><p>Could be anything, depending on mood…examples:</p><p><i>Henny & Gingerale </i><br /><strong>How Do You Do</strong><br />Mayer Hawthorne<br />2011</p><p><i>Let No Man Put Asunder</i> (as mentioned in episode 11 <i>Fanfare for the House</i>)<br />First Choice <br />1983</p><p><strong>Mary</strong><br />Mary J.
