The episodes of "The TRS Music Show" I digitized tonight are from that "awkward time" when Tape and Record Show Enterprises was in "flux". This was during the time I "faded" TRSE out when I got "serious" with a certain girl in 1987, brought the organization back VERY briefly in 1988, and again for a period of time in 1991, until I met and started dating who eventually became the ex-wife, when I killed it again until that one week in 1999 a couple years after the divorce, when it finally stopped "suffering" and kicked over for the last time...

The "broadcast" dates with the episode numbers aren't a mistake. Episodes 32 and 33 were switched around for "broadcast" to time with the holiday. Gives you some idea of the "original recording" order. Episode 34 was actually "broadcast"/recorded live. Paul and I discuss an extremely windy day.

During that brief 1991-92 run, at the end of the episodes, I tacked on "American Public Radio" and "Support provided by" announcements after the closing theme music. As for the "Support" part, it was by "The Orbit Exchange", which was Dennis Goodwin's "Orbit Records" sequel shop opened a couple years after the original record shop had closed its doors. So, if you really think about it, "Orbit Records" was just as hard to "kill" as Tape and Record Show Enterprises... both just kept coming back for more, until they both just became completely unsustainable.
