Vinyl & Tapes
Welcome to Vinyl & Tapes
Music has evolved with technology, in days gone by DJ's used to carry their Vinyl records in racks and used trucks to log their equipment to concerts. There used to be a scientist named Moore's, who postulated that the number of transistors in a microchip doubles every two years, meaning, the processing power of microchips increases while their size and cost decreases. Simply put in layman's language, more costs less. and less can contain more. Example, the processing power of say an Iphone 10 is more powerful than all the computing power of all the computers used to send man to the moon. So going back to our story, a DJ today can have 10,000 songs in a 1 " i.e one inch long flash drive no wider than the thumb. in the days gone by, the Dj would have hired a 2 ton truck to carry all the vinyl records and tapes containing the songs.
so in Vinyl and Tapes we would go back in time and pick 20 songs out of the top 40 songs reigning at the beginning of a particular month, list the songs, and provide a link to our YOUTUBE channel where you could get to hear the songs
audience participation is welcome as our audience have the privilege of picking the particular moment in time they want to hear the songs.

If you were a teenager in the late 70's you must have danced to the monster song "Ladies Night" By Kool & the Gang. It was a show stopper guaranteed to fill up the dancefloor. It was an international hit, was it then a surprise that the song and the album went Platinum.
