Me, I've never owned a cassette deck and never made mix tapes.Who isn't 'pleasurably' guilty of making mix tapes ......... I made 12 dolby b rockabilly mix tapes once and transported them to a wild week end Napa Valley bash and the joint was rockin'..... and yes, I was KING for a day ...and a night! LOL!
For the pool-side music I put a bunch of complete albums in my SansaDisc player
and set it to shuffle. If folks hear a song they don't like, there'll be another coming
up in 3 minutes or so. Admittedly some of the albums are "best of" compilations
but mostly not. I get a lot of questions like, "who is that, or what kind of music is that?"
but IMHO that's a good thing. Let them hear a lot of cut's or artists they never heard
before and climb out of that "stuck in the 60s tonight" bag. Bunch of 55 and over condo
geezers think Frankie Vallie is the pinnacle of music. LOL
