Felix Wurman interviews Mark Tucker - Oak Park IL - November 1974 - Part 1 of 3

[Phonehed]

As I watched this entire 3 part series I felt a very strange connection to both of these little freaks, as they were the types I was hanging out with back then. I was born in Chicago and raised in Oak Park but we left for California in ' 67 when I was 11 yrs. old. I later moved to Texas in '70 but had we stayed in Oak Park, I probably would have gone to OPRF and graduated with the class of '74. Love to hear from any of my old classmates from St Edmund, (61-67) particularly Mike & Tony Martin.

aaah...oak park back when blue collar types could actually raise a family there. maybe a little farther south than where this was shot, but still.

@smokedaddyo lol, Somehow I'm not too surprised to hear that. I haven't been back since we rescued my grandmother in '87 but I couldn't believe how much it had all changed in 20 short years and I can't even imagine what another 24 years of changes might have done.

So sad to hear of Felix's untimely death. Such a wonderful musician and a great guy. .R.I.P.

What format was this originally recorded from? I know it was transfered to VHS, but was the original source U-Matic?

[stormyhawn]

The original recording was made on a Sony Porta-Pak reel-to-reel videotape recorder on ½-inch Sony V-32 tape.
