50:57 – Here’s another tape from my past, this one recorded during my sophomore year of college, toward the end of my time as a theatre major. I only had about three weeks left. Most of this tape was released as the central focus of The Shambleshow #20: Actors, but in remastering it I discovered that there were a few sections that for whatever reason were not included in that episode and that I had forgotten about. The title on the cassette is Archives, Part One, and I know there was a Part Two recorded the next day (4/14/94) but I have not been able to find it so I am assuming it is lost. RFS 237. Recorded 4/12/94 and 4/13/94.

55:44 – Here’s a cassette I recorded 29 years ago, when I was 16. My then-friend Jay and I took my tape recorder to school and made an audio document of our day to be remembered forever more. Throughout the tape you’ll hear various people referring to a fight between two girls, which as I recall never actually occurred but was fun to speculate about. That’s my nephew Erik you’ll hear toward the end. I released several portions of this cassette as part of The Shambleshow #7: KZ-93 back in 2012, but this is an improved remaster of the entire tape (minus a couple of brief cuts). You’ll also hear very brief snippets of the music that was on the tape before I used it for this little project. RFS 236. Recorded 2/6/91.
