What is the first song or piece of music you can remember hearing on the radio (or)?

Yep. I figured out a way to wire his turntable into my cassette recorder, so we shared music all around.

Over in Iran, most of the cassettes for sale in the stores were pirated versions anyway -- a company called "Odio Tech" seemed to have a monopoly on the market.

My parents also had a reel-to-reel tape deck, but I left that thing alone, too much hassle for me.

Some of us already had integrated casette recorders/players in their Hifis. Or their parents had. So, not much of a hassle in our case. My parents had an old but golden Bang & Olufson set from the 60ies. It had a lot of connectors and so it was easy there too to wire my recorder to that station.

That old set died in a housefire. After more than 30 years of loyal services. It probably would still play records if it hadn't burned. Compare that to todays products.
