Using every part of the buffalo - as I am digitizing reel to reel I'm also scanning the reels (and the packaging) and the images of the reels have a calming quality for me.

Picked up some reel to reels at an estate sale. Price, unbelievably: $0. Happy birthday to me.

Every few years David Gerard blocks me like clockwork, but I have to tell you: David Gerard writes the best stuff. Look him up and find his essays. Until the gate swings up on the next social platform (by mistake), I'll wait.
