The Early 80s

When the 80’s began I was still too young to go to the record store alone, that would change in a few years. I started playing the guitar in 1981. I was still listening to black or soul music, pop or top 40 music and I was still loving dance music. Disco transforming into many new genres.

Are you old enough to remember when Americans recorded radio programs onto cassette with one machine? I became good at recording songs off the radio. A prerequisite for my home studio recording career which commenced in high school.

I’m choosing one symbol for the early 80’s. By the end of the decade the cassette tape was going out of business.
