Monte's Taper Handbook for The Internet Archive
Several years ago, I started transferring and publishing shows I taped nearly 40 years ago. "I took my own approach" in this process... I'm combining my firsthand experiences back then with a lot of reverse-engineering of archival materials found on the internet today. I do not own, nor have I read, any GD books. My old albums are long gone. Many of my cassette copies of them remain in excellent condition. I'm not a music critic and I try not to rank shows. Thank you "Light into Ashes" for contributing your knowledgeable musical essays. I'm connecting elements across the internet, and threading this rich history into a tapestry as I see it — from the point of view of a Hippie-Cowboy-Trail Grub, GD lover, Taper, soundman, electronics tech, and Broadcast Engineer. I am provoking thought.

Born to Tape in 1951 - Monte and his dad riding bikes in 1954
These days I'm still riding my bicycle all over the place.
Going to shows and Taping in the audience is like being a Trail Grub.
