Pick-up truck loads of old tapes?!?!
« on: March 25, 2009, 04:40:52 PM »
I'm sorry but I just had to post something that would outdo Joe's tape fairy. Here's a great story that is the county equivalent to the Jazz Loft tapes that Duke University is working on now.

Hopefully, these tapes will find they're way into a archive that knows how to preserve them and allow access to the music on them by the public as have the Gene Smith tapes mentioned above.http://cds.aas.duke.edu/jazzloft/index.html#

what a great story Steve! Thanks for posting that link. For all we know, it's the same fairy at work. Just like Santa, the Easter Bunny and the tooth fairy, they can be all over the globe in one night, delivering goodies. Philadelphia one night, and then Boston. Keep looking for old pickup trucks and unmarked bags left at your doorstep. As long as the TF doesn't leave an unattended bag at an airport, we're OK. Otherwise the TSA is likely to try and detonate it...
