First song(s) you ever played on air?

Maxell cassettes got the beejeebers beat out of them, and never broke.

Very true... I loved Maxell Cassettes. Their CDRs were pretty indestructable as well..

Prais,

That sounds like an interesting system using cassettes.

I had a cassette deck for many years that would auto-cue to the audio at the beginning of each track. So you didn't have to manually search, as this deck did that. It worked like a charm.

While we're in the wayback machine, I had a radio colleague (now deceased) who began his radio career in Texas. He once told me his first station used Magnecord tape recorders, for those who remember those.

And I did dig out "In Her Eyes" and played it this past Tuesday - my 31st anniversary in this thing known as radio.

There was a cassette automation system on ebay several months ago. I couldn't tell if there was a 25 hz tone for cueing like their reel to reel cousins or a third track like a cart machine.

Long before 1997 Walter changed to Wendy. ;D
