Just noticed this thread. I have about six linear feet of boxes of tapes (they're stored vertically) from my Dad's house. Some he had kept in his shelves for the contents, and others he had marked to record over (because he may have transferred them to cassettes, or thought they were too old to fool with.) I have a tape recorder/player that my aunt gave me a few years ago - it's an old one, so I'll have to work out a cable and device interface between the Phillips player and the computer. Any suggestions? I have a box of cables she sent along with it, but I haven't looked at them in a while. Might be RCA plugs, might not. More on that later; I'll trace this thread.

Dad was a reference librarian (John Dwyer) from the Pacific Northwest who taped a lot of folks in coffee houses and hoots and song circles, and this includes a few Mudcatters, as far back as the early 1960s.

I own these tapes and the rights to them, though I would defer to the performers on the tapes if they can be located if they are used in any way.
