One of the most interesting things she had to share with me were a box of old reels that Mary Jean Pryor had recorded over the years. Most of them were recordings of her piano lessons and recitals, but a couple of them looked very interesting, with titles like "Daddy July 1972" and "Bruce and Brian then Daddy and Me".
When was the last time you saw these? |
It is over 5 hours of audio, some talking, some jokes, some piano performances and a few organ tunes. In fact, a good majority of the stories are told in French. Good thing we have a fluent Frenchie in the family. She is going to have to do a recording herself to translate it all for us...hint hint Auntie Annabelle.
The files are quite large, but I would love to be able to get everyone a copy.
