The fact is...that...I didn't request enough: "Can I have a copy of your aircheck?". Most of us, including myself, didn't spend much time, archiving airchecks of friends...or even bad ones for repeat laughter.
It hit me a few years back that I had little or no audio of my Radio pal of around 30-years; the late Bill Walker. Little or not much of the late Mark Sanders or James Irwin, and absolutely nothing of the late Production Whiz, Steve Chris. I have a few old jingle packages, and those are a blast to listen to, but what of those now departed?
This topic really has no solution, but yet warms discussion, as it breathes reminesence. Sadly it took eleven months for the news to reach me that Sanders had died in Boston. He was a tape archivist if there ever was one, and like myself, a vinyl (mizzer) collector. When I made contact with his family, they only had this to say: "Oh,...yeah, all of that stuff. No, we didn't haul all of that back down here. We just left it in his basement, and the rental storage. You'll have to contact them". Well,...I don't know what happen to his stuff, but someone made some money...that sealed, first state, (Beatles) Butcher cover was worth around 17-thousand...alone!
