Gather around, kids, and I will tell you about the old days of music. We did not have these newfangled MP3 players, let alone smartphones. We kept our tunes on reel-to-reel audio cassette tapes.
Nowadays, this is a rare music medium even though the tapes are still in active production. So artist Amy Corson is content to tear up old cassette tapes into portraits of the musicians recorded on them. Here is, of course, the great Willie Nelson.
The modern (so to speak) audiocassette was invented in 1963, but did not become widely popular until the 1980s, after the death of John Lennon, who is pictured above.
George Harrison, though, known as "the quiet Beatle", lived to see the audiocassette's rise and decline.
And the great Elton John is still with us. Corson says that his fabulous glasses were a challenge, but I think she did a great job at them.
