I wanted to share an experience I had today that still makes me chuckle 
As most of you all know I purchased a High-end Sony cassette deck to make my recordings. They come out fantastic every time. The recordings are so good that all of my boxes tweeters seem to reach a level of crispness never achieved before when playing a cassette and hiss with W/F is basically non detectable.
Anyway, I was out at the park watching my Niece and Nephew play on the playground. I brought my newly recorded cassette with me (Journey's greatest hits to be exact) along with my boom box. I pressed eject to load the tape and watched this millennial kid paying close attention to this event. I popped in my cassette and pressed play. Crisp clear warm sound started to flow throughout the park. In just a minute or two the millennial (young adult) came up to me and was mesmerized by the format and the sound that was coming out of the player.
So, the typical questions start flowing about the cassette format like What is that? Man that sounds good. So, here's where I kinda feel bad but I think it's still in good fun and humor. I told the kid that it was the new trend and one of the best natural sounding formats to come out.....making it sound like cassettes were a newly discovered phenomenon...
As he walked away I imagined him going to Best Buy (or equivalent electronics store) and asking for a cassette player... 
However, I was careful with the wording. I really didn't tell a lie. I never said they just came out but cassettes are starting to make a comeback hence "new trend" and I continue to feel that analog will always be a warmer and more natural sound to digital.
Anyway, this just goes to prove that a cassettes quality of sound on the proper equipment can survive in this digital era with enough quality to spark the interest of the younger digital generation. That truly makes a statement in my book. Also, for the FM or AM radio reception tuner to still be useful in this age is another miracle with the way the speed of technology is going these days.
