@slaw - I’m in Boundary Waters. Just getting ready to put the canoes in the water for a week of camping and fishing. Thanks for asking! Happy Independence Day to you and all. 
Feeling the Spirit!
It's also a pretty good album, overall. I picked up a really nice NM copy a couple of years ago for very little money. 
Best walkman (tape) for around $250?
I just use my phone as a music source in my cars. Two of my vehicles have bluetooth wireless and one just has an AUX input. For all 3, I use either iTunes, Spotify or Tidal as the source for my music. Nearly unlimited catalogs.Not what you asked, ...
