My Childhood Strikes Back

In an unrelated post from the recovery of surgery, I’m reminiscing a bit: When my siblings and I were growing up, we used to spend our summer vacations on loooonnnnggg road trips to visit grandparents. To entertain us in the back of the family station wagon, we had a big cloth bag of travel toys. Each new trip usually yielded an addition or two to the bag. Sometimes the "toy" was a children’s storybook cassette tape combo. One trip we got "The Empire Strikes Back." I’ve been looking for this tape for a long time and last week my brother found it hiding in a place at my folk’s house that I never thought to look.

So I couldn’t resist digitizing it and posting it online for all to listen to/download at their leisure:

    A priceless gem! Gus is going to be “forced” into enjoying this as much as I do!

    I am with you with my prayers, Jeff. If someone has the will and the strength to survive this, it is you, my friend.

    Hey just had to say “Thanks” for digitizing this tape. I just found the tape going through some old bins and I don’t even have a tape player anymore. I was looking to see if it’s even worth anything — did you ever find out? I think I’m going to toss into the good will bag for someone else to enjoy, but I downloaded your MP3. Let me know if you think it’s worth anything.

    Thanks again!
