Against my better judgment, I scheduled an appointment to see a guy who was selling a bunch of classic rock cassettes he claimed his late father had recorded. He said that his father’s hobby was creating mix-tapes, some with rather unusual tracks on them. He referred to the songs on these cassette tapes as “deep tracks.”
I was skeptical because who still has cassette mix-tapes anymore and what shape would they be? But I still had a working cassette tape player at home and the guy was practically giving the cassettes away at a buck each. Contrary to my expectations, this guy’s old man had put together an extraordinary library of songs — hidden gems — from some of my favorite classic rock artists.
What a score!
Written for these daily prompts: Word of the Day Challenge (better), The Daily Spur (appointment), E.M.’s Random Word Prompt (cassette), My Vivid Blog (hobby), Ragtag Daily Prompt (unusual), and Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (contrary).
This, That, and the Other 
I’d love to listen to that mixtape
