What's In Your Tape Cassette Deck Tonight?

Cassettes have never been out of rotation in my home. I own about two thousand cassettes and play them on two Nakamichis through Stax headphones. I listen to a lot of acoustic, singer-songwriter stuff. Right now I'm listening to Gordon Lightfoot. Sounds great to me!

I spent may an hour lovingly copying entire albums and making mixed tapes (yesterdays version of a playlist). I gave them as gifts but mostly I made them to be listened to in the car. They're in boxes in the garage. Time to donate them but I wonder if anyone would care enough to listen. The only reason why I still have them is for the sentimental value they hold.

I have over 300 cassettes and someone wants to give me a bunch more. Recently picked up a Harman Kardon TX392 and an Aiwa ADF660 both 3 head decks and I think as good sounding as my old NAK BX125. I still have about 6 or 8 nice blank tapes so I guess I'll do some recording...

So in my cassette decks tonight are:
Side A: Chick Corea / Friends
Side B: Freddie Hubbard / Sky Dive

Side A: Greg Allman / Laid Back
Side B: Genesis / Trick of the Tale

90 minute cassettes, 1 album per side, gotta love it :)

FWIW, I spent last weekend organizing my more-than-2000+ cassettes. Help! How did I accumulate so many? Luckily, I also collected cassette carriers to hold them. Now, I have a closet filled with well-organized cassettes. Yikes, could I be a hoarder? Nah!
