THREE WHFS TAPES FROM 1977, 1980, 1983


The responses to my WHFS postings have been, quite frankly, very suprising. Instead of picking and choosing, I am going to post what I have from beginning to end, good or great, and in between. This post is for 3 tapes from WHFS. The 1977 and 1980 tape may dissapoint a bit because I ommited all DJ chatter and contains music only. In those days I wasn't thinking of preserving anything for nosatalgic reasons, just wanted some variety music to listen to in my VW van. The 1983 tape has commercials, news and PSAs. An interesting news item broadcast from UPI here is a piece on the future of banking, that one day believe it or not we could pay our bills from home on a personal computer. Pretty cool.

  1. Oh, gosh, "Living in the Past''. Why turn on the radio when there is this stuff to listen to? Thanks.

  2. Thanks so much for the WHFS tapes. I am really looking forward to the 1977 tape. What is your absolute earliest tape? I remember the Cerphe music theme when I was 10th(?) grade - seems a bit of a blur. I hope more folks can dig out their C-90s. Most of mine were eventually overdubbed with more recent music and then lost or broken.
