To think that I used to carry my Sony Walkman with me everywhere would be an understatement.

I always kept a Walkman and extra batteries in my backpack (Be it a Zora’s (St. Thomas, #USVI ) 🇻🇮 backpack or one from the St. John Canvas Factory, located in Mongoose Junction.)

And, when it was time to upgrade from just the beeper 📟 to a cellphone, yeah, I had the OG Motorola flip phone. (This was before the much smaller StarTAC.)

The first time I heard a mix by @CoolDJRedAlert was on my Walkman on a cassette that my cousins in NYC taped from 98.7 KISS 💋 fm and mailed to me in the Virgin Islands.

I must have made 10 copies of that tape and gave copies to my boys.

Man……..I’m going to have to go DITC and find my boxes of cassettes!😎🙌🏾
