I was interested in recording from early days. My sister bought a reel-to-reel tape-recorder from a salesman who knocked our door one day when we were teenagers and she had just started work. It was a good recorder for speech and music.
As a child, I used to experiment with sounds I could create with empty tins, elastic bands, combs and paper and a small harmonica. Probably because my father worked at the EMI, I was always interested in radio, TV, and recording.
When I had my first reel-to-reel tape recorder, I was over the moon, recording anything, speech and music, birds singing, my children's birthday parties.
Then life moved on and cassettes were introduced. I loved using those and recording was easier because of radio cassette recorders being easy to carry around.
The computer process has left me behind but I can still record the way I used to and I like having CD recordings from cassettes.
