Well, I'm finally getting around to digitizing my 700+ cassettes (at my wife's insistence--she wants them out of the house), so I'm going to start posting some goodies here. I taped many a show in the Toronto area from the late '80's to the late '90's, and also recorded a lot of radio broadcasts, mostly from CFNY, 102.1 in Toronto. Hope you stumble across something you like, or even a show you were at!

addendum: I have had many comments about the fate of my tapes, so for those worried about them...the masters I am boxing up and storing in my parents' basement. The others (mixed tapes, recorded LP's, etc) are getting tossed. My wife is not evil or insensitive--we live in a small place, and the many boxes were getting in the way. This is something I'VE wanted to do for awhile, as well. She just gave me the push. Oh, and she doesn't have shelves of makeup, or hundreds of shoes, no matter what stereotypes you care to buy in to. Her comic collection, however....


Bruce Cockburn--Sanderson Centre, Brantford, ON, Canada, Feb. 22, 1991

Just Bruce and a piano player in culture starved Brantford, Ontario. The crowd is actually fairly rowdy for a low-key evening in a fancy theatre, but they behave during the songs. Decent audience recording, the first 2 tracks from my second tape are rather muffled, but things clear up again by "Into the Falling Dark".
