Story Project New Audio Format

I changed the audio format from .w4a to .mp3, so I hope that solved anyone's problems with not being able to play it on their computer.

Toodles!

Story Project #2-Grandma

Grandma Episode 2- Working at the drugstore, and other various jobs.
(link below)

In this interview, Grandma talks about serving soda and ice cream to cute guys and movie stars as she worked at the drugstore. She also talks about the other jobs she had growing up as well as work related accidents she experienced. I am sure you will be impressed by all of the different people grandma talks about- she sure does remember them well.

I hope you enjoy her stories.

FYI- same editing disclaimer as SP#1.

FYI- The interview is not edited for content. I did edit it a little so that you could hear everyone better. If you want me to edit them (so you can't hear me...) , let me know. Or, do it yourself.

Calling All Family Members

So, for Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas, I thought it would be nice to do what I am calling "The Story Project." When I am over on Saturdays (and any other time) I will record them sharing their memories, experiences, stories, poems, you name it. Not only will it be neat for me to hear these stories from them, but I thought it would only be right and good to share them with everyone, to have them for a long time for us to listen to whenever. The way I see it, it's a gift from me to me, from me to gma and pa, from me to you, and from gma and pa to all of us.

Here is where I need your help:
What do YOU want to hear about? The freezing fishing trip, Grandma growing up in Kanab, their favorite vacation. Really, anything. Reply to this post or email me (Jessica) with your requests.

My plan is to put the recordings/interviews up on this blog (somehow...) and also create a CD of them to give to everybody. I hope that everyone enjoys these special stories-we are so blessed by Grandma and Grandpa and all of our wonderful family.

Teaser: I already recorded about 50 mins of conversation today. Stay tuned- I will have the mp3s up ASAP.
