The holy grail being his studio quality Teac Reel to Reel player and 50+, eight-hour reel tapes. Some of my first memories are watching those reels spin, hearing their contents. These hold more than music. They present a glimpse inside someone's soul, what got them off, what made them tick. I imagine it will take years to dig through it all, but I will . . .
