| Some songs were originally recorded on a disc recording
Meisner machine, (1946+),Webster wire recorder, (1947+), then
on professional disc cutting lathes (Presto K (1948), and on
a Scully (1954/55). then transferred to Teac tape decks, (19and
Tascam machines, finally digitized on Panasonic units. Most of the songs are fourth and fifth generation, as they were transferred to newer machines - so quality is what it is. Some transfers were on two ganged Webster heads on my attempt at multitrack recording, which worked, but had many down sides. It worked for what I wanted and needed. (Long story!) The instrumental recordings are of recent vintage with music notation (Finale computer software) played by computer and synchronized to a Casio keyboard for the accompaniment, and recorded on Teac and Tascam machines, then computer digitized into CDs. The vocals also have instrumental renditions (not on this collection). |

One day, back in 1954, after Alice, the girl I was dating, had helped me hang sound proofing drapes in a recording studio I was opening, saw a paper on a music stand and asked what it was. I told her that it was a new song I was working on. She asked me to sing it. Then she asked me to sing it again, and joined me in the singing. Then unknown to her, I turned on a recorder and slipped a disc on the turn table and started it. Then I asked her to sing it.. She did! I found that recording, and after so many years, it was in pretty good condition considering the age and the abuse it had taken in moving situations, It was recorded on a Presto disc cutter. She didn't know that I had written
that song for her., I didn't play it for her until after we were
married. But the 'pack-rat' in me didn't obey! THANK GOD.
