8-Track Tapes

How many of you owned Blue Ridge music on 8-Track tapes?

Does anyone still own a working 8-track player? Remember how you could buy 3 albums for $6.50 but 3 8-tracks cost $10? Remember how annoying it was when a song would be cut in half, with the continuation on a different track? And remember needing to buy a new tape if it came unraveled when you forgot to demagnetize the player? Oh how we prayed to be able to find a replacement tape of Bill Crowe's "That Little Girl Of Mine" when my Mom ruined her Dad's copy....

I'm so thankful for the technology that allows the Blue Ridge to now be heard on CD's - they travel with me in my car 24/7 and never sounded better!
