In Cleveland last weekend, Umlaut connected with several Old Metalheads who he's known for 25 years but had never met before. One of them was the legendary Metal Mike of Aardschok in Holland.A quarter of a century ago (!!), Mike and I traded cassette tapes via something called "The Postal Service"... This required us to:
- Dub music onto a blank cassette tape.
- Put that tape into an envelope.
- Take the envelope to a place called "The Post Office" and do something called "Send Via Air Mail".
- Wait weeks or even months for a reply.
