I recently went through 35 years worth of cassette tapes to pull off old songs I had written as a teenager and songs I played with bands I was in over the years. I’m so glad I saved it all to digitize. (And glad I finally got around to it.) I found one song of a band practice from before our band had a drummer or bass player. It was just me on keys, the guitarist and the singer. The guitarist is now dead. We never performed that song live anywhere as we ended up cutting it from our set because it was just a little outside of our style. I was able to bring it into Logic, clean up the tape noise and add a drum track, just to see what it would have sounded like. It let’s me relive a moment of my life in a way that just a simple memory couldn’t. I also found recordings of shows we played. So glad I didn’t throw any of it out. (And yes, some of it was terrible. I didn’t digitize those parts.)
