Lacing a tape frame

Lacing a tape frame

2012-11-24 by Andy Kinch

Anyone else here tried lacing a tape frame with a cat in the room?
Quite hilarious! (and a danger to those precious tapes too!)
Entertaining.

Ouch. Sounds like an early death for either the tape or the cat.

I did that not all that long ago. That was a hideous miscalculation on my part.

I have not, but I understand you'll need to have some aspirin handy, because there will be a sore back when you're done.

Yes I live constantly on the edge! Lol. (not "close to the edge" before anyone says) In fact I ended up doing it twice! And yes, I have got a very sore back.
I have discovered that cats love playing with tape! Especially ones that flick quickly back into their box!

I was recording last summer and had turned around to pick up a guitar when the cat jumped on my controller loaded with a choir patch. I think she played a Cminb5#5b6add9 chord. Very inspiring!
