I picked up a home-grade reel to reel machine at a thrift store and and this is the tape which was in it. A father sends messages from home to his son in the U.S. Navy during the vietnam war, including fatherly advice about cars and shopping overseas and anxiously awaiting his sons return. He provides sample fodder at 14:19 about musical gear lust and otherwise provides an insight to the times.
As no parties in this recording are explicitly identified, and while I did not record this, I am the de facto owner of the recording at this point and think it best to preserve it by posting it here as CC0.

Nice. Piece of history. Hard to know what to do with it. Last summer I bought some old cassettes. I planned to record music on them. But I cant use them. On the tapes are pieces of local history. I have to contact the local "folk museum"! Buying second hand is a burden :-)
