Frog & Toad Tape

My dad asked me if I could copy a tape to a cd for him. I said sure, what is the tape? He just laughed and said I'd like it. Next time my parents visited he handed me an instructional tape on identifying frog and toad for species found in Iowa. The tape sounds a bit damaged, perhaps by a magnet.

Found Answering Machine Tape


I digitized a portion of this tape I found in the attic of a house I had a studio in (Colfax).  There is one message but the majority of the 20 minute recording is noise, cracks and creaks.  I might use it as part of an art installation in the future, but don't have any real plans yet. Download a high quality 243 mb AIFF recording of the tape here . Or a 27 mb MP3 here
