about

In the late 1970s, my dad acquired a handheld Panasonic cassette recorder. It was grey and silver, with a chunky red “record” button, a telescoping antenna for the radio and a black faux-leather sleeve that buttoned tightly like a fetish outfit.

One day in the early 1980s, Terry Clark, the representative for an English leather goods manufacturer, traveled to Dallas, Texas to present his new product line to my dad and his business partner,

Steve Foxall. Together, Steve and my dad operated “The Lightworks, Inc,” a commercial photography studio. The Panasonic’s capstans turned noiselessly as Terry was questioned.

At some point, the tape recorder started behaving erratically, and in 2017 we took it apart to try and repair it. After this, it ceased working entirely.
