Local lore was it that my childhood home was the last Montgomery Ward sold.

I had one. I started out bouncing tracks with an Akai 2-track sound on sound deck. Went to a Teac 2340, then a Teac 3440, then an 8 track ADAT, then finally to a computer DAW.

I remember bouncing tracks back and forth too. Unfortunately, the more you did it the muddier the tracks would get. Thank God for today's recording gear.

Just the other day I was thinking about the day I went to Manny’s in NYC on my lunch hour tp drop $750 on my TASCAM 234. No more multiple cassette player bounces for me!!

Some of my gear from the mid-'80s, though most of it dated well before that. The cab was a fender "pyramid", the Univox head was a 60 water.

When I was a senior in high school (1980) one of my buddies bought a rig that had that exact cab but he had a Traynor tube head.
