Re: The Spoken Word in Bush Poetry

I don't know if anyone reading this series of posts is interested in Australian Bush/Folk/Traditional music but occasionally one can happily stumble upon a rarity like this one.
All the purist-approved acoustic instruments are used.
Such Bush Bands performed bush poetry recitations too because that was sort of the scene then... at least as I recall it.
...for interest, I will post Rough Bark Bush Band recorded around late 1988, in Launceston and Hobart, Tasmania. Some of the tracks may be familiar??
I have heard that cassettes are starting to become popular again.
I find that the darn things get sticky with age and even FF/REV the tape first when trying to save them to a stick, one still sweats that they will not tangle up in the machine which is usually fatal to the tape.
Has anyone else had the same experience with old cassettes? Unlike vinyl, they get notably frail with age and require more care.. FWIW
