My old tapes...do you have yours?
"What are these Mom? What's this funny string (as they proceeded to unroll an entire tape of Paisley Park by Prince)? What do you do with them? They have music on them?"
Talk about a stroll down memory lane. That box captured my entire youth through music. From Sheila E. and Wham! to Harry Connick, Stryper, The Beatles, Cinderella and Bon Jovi. Then there was Amy Grant, AC/DC, Guns n' Roses and, ahem, Color Me Badd (dude, don't forget the extra "d").
Here's the thing. I haven't owned a cassette deck in 10 years. I don't even own a stereo (the iPod changed my life). But I'll keep that box of tapes forever. I may even bust out and buy a small deck so my kids can listen to those tapes.
Do you have your old cassette tapes? Or did you toss 'em?
