Reel-to-reel

Wandering about up at the museum at lunchtime today and came across this beautiful old Akai reel-to-reel. Reel-to-reel always reminds me of that great Joni Mitchell song Coyote:

No regrets Coyote
We just come from such different sets of circumstance
I'm up all night in the studios
And you're up early on your ranch
You'll be brushing out a brood mare's tail
While the sun is ascending
And I'll just be getting home with my reel to reel
There's no comprehending
Just how close to the bone and the skin and the eyes
And the lips you can get
And still feel so alone
And still feel related
Like stations in some relay
You're not a hit and run driver no no
Racing away
You just picked up a hitcher
A prisoner of the white lines on the freeway

Fantasitic...

Got on to this track from her live performance of it on the Scorcese documentary of the Band's last live performance 'The Last Waltz' , in my view the greatest music movie of all time. If you haven't seen it or got the album, then go now and rectify!

Anyway, found a shoddy recording someone uploaded on Youtube.

BTW saw this sign on a cubicle in the gents toilets and had a chuckle.
