--The New York Times

Honoring the memory of Bill's father, George L. Popp, aka "Daddy Tapes"



The Daddy Tapes Story in Brief

Daddy Tapes was the backbone of his son's band, The Tapes.

Instead of retiring and moving to Florida, as he had dreamed, Daddy Tapes remained in New York, working as a night watchman until the day he died, from a heart attack, on Nov 1, 1986, at the age of 73.

He remained in New York so his son, Bill Popp, could live inexpensively at home and rehearse his band, "The Tapes", for free in their basement. On the low wage his son made from his day job, The Tapes would have only been a dream.

Instead of recording and promoting the band, the young Popp would have been struggling to pay rent or for rehearsal space.

Before the days of computer labels, Daddy Tapes would address over 200 envelopes by hand, sometimes more than twice a month, for the band's mailing list.

In the early 80's, when it was rare to see someone over the age of 45 hanging out at a rock club, there was Daddy Tapes, smoking his pipe, cheering on his son's band.

Today, Bill Popp and The Tapes enjoy a 27 year history and counting, and Daddy Tapes' legacy still lives on with each band rehearsal in the house he kept for his son, where Bill still lives to this day.

Daddy Tapes


Honoring the memory of Bill's father, George L. Popp, aka "Daddy Tapes"

The Daddy Tapes Story in Brief

Daddy Tapes was the backbone of his son's band, The Tapes.

Instead of retiring and moving to Florida, as he had dreamed, Daddy Tapes remained in New York, working as a night watchman until the day he died, from a heart attack, on Nov 1, 1986, at the age of 73.

He remained in New York so his son, Bill Popp, could live inexpensively at home and rehearse his band, "The Tapes", for free in their basement. On the low wage his son made from his day job, The Tapes would have only been a dream.

Instead of recording and promoting the band, the young Popp would have been struggling to pay rent or for rehearsal space.

Before the days of computer labels, Daddy Tapes would address over 200 envelopes by hand, sometimes more than twice a month, for the band's mailing list.

In the early 80's, when it was rare to see someone over the age of 45 hanging out at a rock club, there was Daddy Tapes, smoking his pipe, cheering on his son's band.

Today, Bill Popp and The Tapes enjoy a 27 year history and counting, and Daddy Tapes' legacy still lives on with each band rehearsal in the house he kept for his son, where Bill still lives to this day.

The Daddy Tapes Story in Brief

Daddy Tapes was the backbone of his son's band, The Tapes.

Instead of retiring and moving to Florida, as he had dreamed, Daddy Tapes remained in New York, working as a night watchman until the day he died, from a heart attack, on Nov 1, 1986, at the age of 73.

He remained in New York so his son, Bill Popp, could live inexpensively at home and rehearse his band, "The Tapes", for free in their basement. On the low wage his son made from his day job, The Tapes would have only been a dream.

Instead of recording and promoting the band, the young Popp would have been struggling to pay rent or for rehearsal space.

Before the days of computer labels, Daddy Tapes would address over 200 envelopes by hand, sometimes more than twice a month, for the band's mailing list.

In the early 80's, when it was rare to see someone over the age of 45 hanging out at a rock club, there was Daddy Tapes, smoking his pipe, cheering on his son's band.

Today, Bill Popp and The Tapes enjoy a 25 year history and counting, and Daddy Tapes' legacy still lives on with each band rehearsal in the house he kept for his son, where Bill still lives to this day.
