When I was ten or eleven, a cassette recorder arrived in our house (I think it might have been mine, but I'm not absolutely sure on that one). Aside from the novelty of "candid taping" each other , I remember the warbly recordings I made from the TV and radio of theme tunes and songs. One of those songs came back to me this morning as I was buying my coffee. They were playing a version by Six on the radio, but the version that began to play in my head was the 1975 Guys and Dolls original, complete with the wavy distortions that came as the batteries faded.
Its funny how something so small can change the tone of your morning and take you to a different place.
I'm sure it would surprise no one when I say that I'm reasonably sure that somewhere in all of the boxes I've lugged around for years, I still have that tape.
Enjoy!
