The Night Shift

After last week's Cortina Nights show I got a call from my
mate John "Hanger" Hastings. "I'll tell you what this show is like" he opined,
"It's like when we used to make up party tapes..."
I think Hanger's got that spot on. I seemed to spend an
awful lot of time in the late seventies and early eighties meticulously
crafting cassette tapes with the perfect party mix on them. It took hours and
hours of recording, deleting and re-recording. We would stick the tape on the
PA system at whatever party I’d been asked to provide the music for and crank
up the volume. The thought of mp3 files and iTunes playlists was beyond even
the wildest imagination.
I’m now wondering, what I did with all those old C90 tapes?
I can feel my loft beckoning.
So if you want to know what Cortina Nights is – there you
have it. It's like one of your old party tapes.
