Monte never really fell off the bus

I am a former Taper. I began recording live music shows in 1973. I was a soundman from 1975 to 1977. I recently condensed my best recordings into a multimedia "Taper's Catalog," (music book) so to speak. I put a biography of myself in there so I can be very clear about my premise. This is a great example for musicians to look at. It is very affordable. I did EVERY-THING myself. Put an end to the rumor mills, mysteries, and spins -- and take charge of your own history. You have full control. You manage your biographical content, and how your information gets digitally transferred to the internet. I am the Digital Archivist. I can make it happen for you. Please look at the example I made of myself. Thanks.

Monte the Taper

try and imagine your projects or your life's work getting archived on your internet sites
— imagine your work being profiled on your sites instead of me and my Taper's Catalog on my sites  —

peace always — to all my brothers and sisters
