Tell me about it. A couple of months ago, one of the guys at work had a birthday. As a joke, someone suggested going to the pub at lunch, and getting them to play Stevie Wonder's happy birthday.
Then, for some reason, somebody suggested putting it on tape. So, not having a tape recorder to hand, but being in charge of the equipment we lend to students, I start rooting around looking for a tape recorder. We used to have a load of rather nice Denon tape decks in our studio (at work). Seems these had probably been sold off when the studio was refitted. So, no luck. I eventually (after about 1.5 hours) found an old marantz portable, which I used to record the song (had that on itunes).
We get to the pub, explain the situation, and ask if we can play something on the hifi. He says yes. We hand him the tape, and he looks at us as if we are stupid..
