Cassette LPs That I'm Converting for the Month of April

I have had these cassettes for years and to be honest two of them I never sat and gave a listen. Sometimes it's music that when I first hear it I turn my nose up to it and put away but as I get older I pull the LP out and I realize it wasn't the music...it was me not ready for it. Sometimes I just listen to it period.

A Winter's Solstice II is a cassette LP that I have had in my possession for over 10 years and never sat and listen to it until now. Maybe it was because of the title of maybe I thought it was a Christmas LP (which it is not). And I keep forgetting that most of the artists were either classically trained or have a very deep root into Jazz, Bluegrass. Well I have blew the dust off of the cassette LP and I have to admit it's pretty cool.

The other cassette LP I have never sat and listen to is by Shadowfax [esperanto]. This was just another cassette that I bought from Big Lots back in the late 90s just because of the group and never listened to the LP.(while writing this I am currently listening to A Winter's Solstice II). Maybe once I pop this puppy into the stereo system to begin converting to WAV it may surprise and make me kick myself for waiting this long to listen to this LP.

How come I do stupid stuff like? It's not like tomorrow is promise to me and what if I would have lost these cassette LPs and I would have had to pay full price for them? Oh well, what's done is done and now I am converting them so all is right with the world.

The other cassette I remember listening to NPR and hearing Michael Kamen being interviewed about this piece of work, "Concerto for Saxophone" feat. David Sanborn. I remember hearing the first movement of "Concerto for Sanborn" and I was like, "whoa...I have to get that LP". So I made a trip to my local Streetside Record store and bought the cassette LP. This again was a cassette LP where when hearing the entire piece of work I was not moved by it and put it away for a minute. Now I can listen to it, my queen can listen to it (she thought it was really nice) and now I can share it with the masses.

I have to admit there are some music I purchased and it is not that good but I have to admit, I think I did okay with these selection.
