The Slow Tape

This is the one that got away.  Somehow I don't have it and I can only imagine someone wanted it more than I did.  It was powerful stuff.  Some called it "belt buckle polishing music".

It was my slow tape.  But primarily it was my "cooler".  It gave me 90 minutes to let the air out of the evening when people were to pooped or drunk to dance and they wanted to find someone.  I was told by some fraters that they had the song order memorized so they knew they could get a beer and then make their move.

I remember many of the songs on the tape but could not recreate from memory.  It probably contained 22 to 25 songs.
