On October 23, 2018, I learnt about cassette tapes at my grade school that I went to. And a few days later, my RISE Class Teacher rewarded me with a Maxell 60 Minute Blank Tape to experiment with. And I was able to record music on the tape with one of those cassette tape recorders that the school had. Later in around November 2018, I was in a meeting with two of my EAs talking about my behavior in school in the conference room. And one of my EAs in the meeting gave me two options of three rewards I get to have. One was a candy bar, and the other two was 2 Maxell 90 Minute Cassette Tapes. And I made a good decision to pick the 2 cassette tapes. At the end of every school day, I get to have a break for 40 to 45 minutes, and I get to use a Califone CAS5272 Cassette Recorder. And I was recording the PaRappa the Rapper 1-2 Soundtrack on the 2 tapes I had. On Christmas of 2018, I got a Sharp GF-340 Boombox along with some pre-recorded cassette tapes to listen to. And later in January of 2019, I tried something out. I turned on the FM Radio on my Boombox, and I put in my blank tape inside the cassette deck, and hit the record button and I can actually record stuff from the radio! So here are some of the things I recorded from the radio with this machine along with another tape I had.

PaRappa the Rapper Soundtrack (Recorded from YouTube using a Califone CAS5272.)

(Here are some of the recordings I made from the FM Radio.)

Roxette - Listen To Your Heart (Recorded from an unknown radio station somewhere in January 2019, Before this song was playing, Jason Mraz - I'm Yours was playing. And I decided to stop recording in the middle of the song. I was in my bedroom when I recorded this.)

(Some recording tests I made using my LG G3 Phone.)

Ronnie Milsap - She Keeps The Home Fires Burning (Recorded from an unknown radio station somewhere in January 2019, I was trying out with recording songs, and this is one of them. I started recording in the middle of the song, and stopped recording when the commentary happened. I was in my bedroom when I recorded this.)

AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (Recorded from an unknown radio station somewhere in February 2019. I started recording in the middle of the song, and stopped recording as soon as Billy Joel - It's Still Rock And Roll To Me started playing. I was in the living room with my Boombox on the couch when I recorded this along with 2 other songs I recorded.)

Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten (Recording from 100.3 WNIC I'm guessing. I started recording as soon as the song began, and stopped recording when the commentary happened.)

Eagles - I Can't Tell You Why (Recorded from 98.7 The Breeze. This is one of the more rarer recordings I've made on this tape because this was the only time that this song was being played on this radio station. And it was the first time I heard this song and got to know The Eagles.)

(I also did some voice recordings with two other cassette recorders. one is with a Bell & Howell 3191A, and one with my Sharp GF-340.)

(I also recorded a clip from 98.7 The Breeze giving out a brief explanation of the worst Halloween candy before Adele - Hello started playing. I believe I recorded this somewhere in October 2019.)

Roxette - Listen To Your Heart (Recorded from 98.7 The Breeze. I made this recorded to add to the first half of the song I recorded. I believe after the 2 voice recordings I made, I fast forwarded a little bit and then started recording. The radio signal was terrible, but I tried getting the signal as best as I could. Near the end of the song, I thought the song was over, so I stopped recording. The song was still going so I started to record again. I was next to my computer near the staircase when I recorded this.)

An everytrycounts.gov quit smoking ad on 97.9 WJLB (I believe I recorded this somewhere in April - May of 2019. I recorded the full commercial along with some silence at the end.)

Cyndi Lauper - All Through The Night (Recorded from 100.3 WNIC, I started recording this song after the intro.)

Zedd - The Middle (Recorded from 100.3 WNIC. Before this song played, Michael Jackson - Man In The Mirror was playing. And then I stopped recording and started recording again when this song played next.)

PaRappa the Rapper Soundtrack (Recorded from my LG G3 through the microphone jack on the back of my Sharp GF-340.)
