CUE Creat

This might fall under a "preservation" query.
A couple decades ago, I made several cassettes of a Big Band radio show for my father.
The hosts aired a lot of obscure material, and spoke knowledgeably throughout.
Disney bought the station in 98, jettisoned most of the staff, and aired a feed of kiddee tunes.
When my father died, family sent the cassettes back to me, knowing I was a music buff.

Using Audacity, I ran the cassette feed through the sound card and saved as a WAV file.
I cut some of the boring, national commercials, but kept some of the interesting, local adverts (like those for life insurance or funeral homes or undertakers).
I ended up with a single two hour file.
Have it on WAV, as well as 320k mp3.

Is there software that will create a CUE sheet for this?
Friends sent me a CUE splitter, but that only splits the long track using an exisiting CUE sheet.
I need to create one, and I ain't finding a gizmo for this.
Any ideas?
Thank you.

Well, this ate up a chunk of hours.

I ended up chopping the WAV into pieces using Audacity and labeling each file.
Loaded into CUETools which generated a sheet.
Noticed the timings got progressively off, but I got everything sorted using my notes.
The biggest annoyance was there was 54 points! (Truth to tell, I have another mix with over 100 edits but I'm not quite that O/C).

If anyone would like a copy of this, shoot me a PM.
Again, this is Big Band music (Dorsey Bros, Count Basie, Russ Morgan, ...) with two older gents gabbing between songs.
If you have a grandpa in his 80s - who can play mp3 - he might like.
