Mysterious! But the tape inside is labeled:
Brecht/Weill
Mixed Tape of Assorted Songs in French, German, and English.
Tape Notes: This is one of those mix tapes where one side uses most of the tape, and the other half ends halfway through, which means a lot of rewinding. In this case, Side A is the short side. This is bringing back memories.
Sixty-Four Words: The songs of Berthold Brecht are basically show tunes, not always my favorite genre. They are also generally pretty didactic, which I don’t like at all. But, they are also often very clever. As performed here, many of them have a gritty cabaret feel, as if the cabaret was being run by Tom Waits. And dang, “Mack the Knife” is one insanely catchy tune.
Disposition: Will not discard, but would consider passing on as gift or barter item.
