Well-well! Since we are dropping names from the past, we may as well mention this one, since it was one Dean Hamer who originally recorded/copied the current batch of tapes I’m busy converting to MP3 as I write this.
Now, Dean was a bit of a peculiarity when he joined my high school class in early 1987. You see, he was fresh from the distant and excitingly exotic land called the Yooo-SA (Miami, Florida, to be more exact), and it was for that reason that he was an angry, young man: used to driving his own Honda Civic (known as the “Accord” in South Africa) to school, he was now dependant on public transportation — which was probably as bad as having to wear a uniform.
