At the end of the run, the guys in Sonar would give anyone that asked a reel to reel tape, or tapes. The idea was to make a tape off the radio for the next run. I have always kept my Christmas Tape. It was carefully edited, recorded from albums owned and borrowed. Had a very good mix. Seemed to be the one played every Christmas Eve. This year a double disaster struck. My Akai Reel to Reel Tape Deck gave up the ghost. I had won it at the Bingo game at Sub base New London in 1970. Then the tape had become so brittle it just kept busting. Another Sub Tradition gone. Got much of the same music on CD's ordered off of the internet and most of it is here in time for Christmas. ------------- Walt, Had I done everything right throughout my life, the World wouldn't have noticed. |

Unfortunately no, parts of it are just crumbling. I think it got too hot, where ever the Boss had it stored. It may have accidentally found it's way out into the shed with some of the decorations when the house was purged to put in the new flooring. I lived within the A/C barrier all these years. ------------- Walt, Had I done everything right throughout my life, the World wouldn't have noticed. |

What? No Kingston Trio, Peter Paul and Mary, The Brothers four, Mormon Tabernacle, Bing, Nate, The Whistler, Navy Choir, Navy Band and a bunch of others are clearly missing for a 1972 Christmas tape. With the internet, I could probably piece together something real close to the original, but it wouldn't be the same by a long shot. Lot of effort, thought and work went into that tape during the off crew it was created. Can't be replaced for me. ------------- Walt, Had I done everything right throughout my life, the World wouldn't have noticed. |
