For the 1963-4 World's Fair, I made a 3-3/4 ips 14" background music
tape for a reversable Scully that was used for background music in various
venues.  Mine was at the daily fashion show.  I also ran their PA every day- no
days off- for 6 months.

Some jobs have different benefits than others.

For a different job, I made another tape for use in, of all things, an
elevator.

At Klaus Heyman's suggestion, I made an MP3 CD-ROM to provide uninterrupted
play so no one would have to attend to the player throughout the day.

Klaus had all rights to the recordings and they were licensed for storecast use.
