Hal McGee was born January 19, 1958, in Bloomington, Indiana, USA.
Please note that I have chosen (in most cases) to present my old cassette releases from the 1980s and 1990s as mp3s of entire sides of the tapes - kind of in a podcast style. I did this for a number of reasons. Most of my cassette releases from the 1980s and 1990s were meant to be experienced as side-long works. Even though the sides of the tapes contained individual works, these songs or pieces were, in many cases, and in many respects, linked thematically, texturally and content-wise.
All of my cassette releases from the 1980s and early 1990s were re-released on my HalTapes label, on cassette and CDR, during the period from 1995 to 2005.
