Music to grow up to
I just found an old mix tape of mine. Ca. 1985 or so, it must have followed me in one of the paperwork boxes I keep dragging around with me and have been spilled during the last move.
Here’s what was on it. Took me a while to find a tape deck to check it, but neighbor Dave had one (he also has a 1969 Fender Rosewood Telecaster and a ‘76 Bryan 6-string bass, I am jealous). Consider it the soundtrack of my youth, the stuff I listened to until I joined the Army in ‘90.
