WELCOME TO YOUR FATHER'S DEN!

Welcome to Your Father's Den! Here you will find the"best of the best" of reel to reel music just like dear old Dad use to play. The format and genre will be similar to that of the Hut. I chose to do this blog because there are tapes out there in high quality analog that no one has ever heard before(including myself) It gives the listener a chance to hear some great music as it was meant to be heard. So I hope you will enjoy this new blog and I welcome any comments.

MAJOR RENOVATIONS AT HOME!

Major renovations at home has closed Your Father's Den temporarily, but I'm back today and will soon get things going. I had to sacrifice Father's Den to move a lot of the house furniture into it so that we could have the entire house fitted with porcelain tile. During the work, the contractor had to rip up the old tile in the bathroom which is almost across from Your Father's Den. Neither the contractor or myself closed the door to Father's Den, and as a result, Father's Den was completely contaminated with a very fine dust. I did not dare use any of my vintage equipment until everything was completely cleaned. So I'm happy to say as of today, I'm here listening to my vintage Teac reel to reel. I have more cleaning to do but at least I got most of the furniture out so that I can at least get in here now. I'll be catching up on your comments as well. Until then thanks for your patience.
