Post a Picture that Makes You Laugh

Most of my music up until I got a real job fixing TV's at age 15 was simply recorded directly from FM radio. WEDR Miami switched formats to "Underground Music" at 9 PM every night. It was successful, so after a year or so they went underground full time. Others followed, there was the Magic Bus on 93.9 and SHE-103 on 103.5, all of which coexisted until the scourge known as Disco appeared and ate the radio. The only survivor was The Magic Bus which became Zeta 4.

I had two old reel to reel decks for "quality" music, and the trusty Panasonic cassette player / recorder for portability. Long before it was fashionable I went to a few of my high school classes with wires coming from my ears. One of the teachers just thought I was deaf. I didn't want to hear anything she said anyway. I got the job running the service department of an Olson Electronics store at 18. There I discovered that the "Concord" branded home cassette deck was really a Nakamichi in disguise, I got two of them and made some decent cassettes. One of them wound up mounted in the overhead console when I built my Shagmobile Van in 1974. It featured 6 car speakers each powered by a clone of one of the SWTPC Tiger amps, and a 15 inch subwoofer under the bed in the back. There was also an extra car battery back there to power it all.
