Sweet memories

Now I may have been too young to remember making this tape, but I remember listening too it often as a child.

The history of the tape is that we made it for my Paw Paw and Matilda in North Carolina for Christmas 1974.  I was 2, almost 3 years old.  My sister was 11 and my brother was 13.  Thanks to some editing help from Shane, I was able to extract this little piece from the hour long tape.  Now you all may not want to listen to the whole hour, but since I haven't heard my Dad's voice in almost 18 years....I cherish the whole hour.  Props to my Mom for holding on to this for all these years and extra special props for making it in the first place.  See before the age of facebook you actually have to gather your family around a little black box and have a conversation with someone miles and miles away.  Tough to do, but 38 years later, it makes for amazing memories.  So thanks again Mom....Love you!
