RIP Lou

Although not as wide spread as the vinyl revival, the cassette has a little bit of resurgence.

There is even a Cassette Store Day now.

I never left the cassette and still enjoy making tapes.  No, it's not about the sound quality, but the hands on aspect.

I was celebrating my 10 birthday in 1985. I got my first Sharp BoomBox with cassette player. My first birthday cassette (picked out by my mother) was Styx Mr. Roboto 😁.

RIP Lou!
A moment of hiss for you sir!

The advent of cassettes expanded my world forever, all thanks to this man. Still got a drawerful of personally curated, carefully titled 90-minute "playlists" in an easy-access drawer plus a functioning player straight into the preamp.

I deem tomorrow Make Believe It's International Cassette Tape Day. Good timing when your streamer and DAC are not on speaking terms.

R.I.P. Lou
