Good afternoon, Albs, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

That's just under 14 per hole; not too bad for a first time round a course as a beginner. Few people start their careers with 'holes in one'. It might be worth persisting, and getting a couple of lessons..!

Mmm... Tea..! (Oh, 'Tease'..! Sorry...)

Good evening, Laurent, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

If this is the launch, maybe I'll invite myself..!

My folks were rather Puritan in their approach to 'enjoyment' and such, and so disapproved (passively...) to any music. I think they'd tried to see what it was all about at some point, as we had a radiogram, with a 'My Fair Lady' and a 'South Pacific' disk, and another by Kathleen Ferrier, whom my mother liked for having died tragically young, rather than her (undeniable...) musical talent. My father (or was it Santa Claus..?) did get me a reel-to-reel tape recorder (Robuk...) one Christmas, which enabled me to play continuous and diverse music through the night whilst I slept. At no point, ever, in my various musical ventures, did my parents show any interest nor appreciation, certainly not by attending any of my performances. My father did, however, lend me the cash I needed to get my first 'real' drums (the Camco kit I've played ever since...), and I helped him make the beech and ply flight cases for the kit; needed when I moved to France. So... Little, or no encouragement, but little or no obstruction. They disapproved my path, but allowed me, grudgingly, to tread it. A fair enough deal, maybe, all things considered.

It's a Fostex 460, which has Dolby B & C; Dolby C would be used when recording hi-speed (3.75...) multi-track stuff.

STOP EVERYTHING..! NOW..! PLEASE..! Get this working with any old duff cassette FIRST, before even considering playing one of the four-track tapes. If it's going to 'eat' tapes, better that it be a duff one..! OK, it doesn't have to be a duff tape, just not one of the precious ones. An ornery stereo tape will do, just to get the transport sorted. Only play your 'good' tapes once it's sorted.

Sorry; far too soporific for my old bones. Are you sure the tape wasn't running at half speed..? Too slow for me to dance to (and I don't dance...). Good production, but not (at all...) my style. Thanks for sharing.

It almost inspires me to install a lift in the cottage; luckily it (the cottage...) is all on just the one level. A bullet dodged.

Clip-on tuner on the headstock, OBBM cable into the Hiwatt head, OBBM cable into HH cab. That's it.

The ideal would be to record all four tracks in one go; there could be slight differences between passages if done in two passes. Not enough to mess up listening, but best avoided, if possible. Just sayin'; good luck with the transfer.

Oh, what a shame; the pieces had to be in exactly ten minutes ago. Now ain't that just bad luck..? Never mind, sonny; have another go next time (when you'll miss the boat by even less... ) ... ... Nah, midnight (the witching hour...), 23rd September 2020 is the Official Closing Ceremony, with trumpet fanfare and parade of scantily-dressed ... Oh, did I say that out loud..? Sorry..!

Oh dear..!

Good afternoon, David, and ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Good evening, Greg, and ... You already know that there's plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Good call ^^. Needs checking.
