Music from the 80's and 90's

Cassette tapes. What are they, some ask. My kids got a total kick out of sifting through two grocery bags full of tapes. We had a school cancellation today, so I thought this might be fun to go through. Preparing for eBay, freecycle, etc.  All you could hear in my house was the clackety-clack of plastic covers hitting each other, and my kids saying, “Wow. Who’s this?”

We’ve got a little Whitney, some Madonna, James Taylor, a whole lot of Chicago, then a few less known groups like The Church. It was a lot of fun listening to a few of the tapes, and then I hit jackpot. A recording I made with a friend at the tender age of 14, and basically throughout a 24-hour period. My brother was in the background making goofy comments, and at one point I just said, “Hey, go.”  That made Abby laugh.  Strangely enough, my friend, Christine, and I said on tape, “Ooh, we should play this for our kids one day.”  This is what I said at the end:

“Oh, and if one day, I have kids, if I have a girl, I don’t want to be a snot. I’ll let her go out with her friends…” 

Abby was laughing, laughing, laughing.  Ollie kept saying, “Mom? Mom? You?” and giggling.

Look at his hair?! I can’t believe we thought this was so hot then…

Ahh…Sting. We still love you.
