Here's another blast.
Back when I was 12 I had been playing guitar for a couple years, my brother went to lessons but soon gave it up so I inherited the guitar and all the books. I was doing OK but wanted to step it up a bit. So I hooked it up to an old radio. This was a radio from the 50's it had a record player and a radio so I went to the needle of the record player and hooked up a microphone to the 2 wires and stuck it in the hole of the guitar. It was electrifying because now I had an amplifier.
I could only turn it up when no one else was around and I took an 8-track player and recorded my noise.
Today I went to a yard sale and picked up an 8-track player so now I can finally listen to that tape from 48 yrs ago. I still have it for some crazy reason and as soon as I get a chance and clean off the capstans and the head with some alcohol will give it a try.
I've been dying to hear that thing for years.
