R&B style pop songs; Brandon L Harris with singers; possibly a demo tape or a session to try out song ideas
Donor notes: Black Box. Brandon L Harris. Sounds like a demo. Mediocre blues piano player. Or perhaps a songwriter just looking to get some of his ideas down. Tape damaged - plays out of one channel for much of tape. Sometimes switches. Might have bee n recorded in 4 track - some issues with backwards tape bleed between sides. Juma remembers this being a musician who came in to lay down some ideas for songs. Says people picked up their tapes when they paid for them. Tapes like this would be that people didn't pay for tapes, so they remained in the collection.
