When we were brought in to see my father after he passed, he had a smile on his face. I like to tell myself that he was seeing his mother (who died of kidney failure back in 1925, when he was just 14 years old), for the first time in 74 years, escorted by my two deceased brothers. <BR/><bettye griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457387770524295498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35476861.post-76159284345410516472008-10-08T09:58:00.000-05:002008-10-08T09:58:00.000-05:00Bettye,Music does help sooth the soul.

What I found very interesting is after my father died, I was sitting at a stop light and Backstabbers by the O'Jays came on the radio and I literally almost threw up. See, that was one of my dad's favorites. I asked my sister if she'd been having the same reaction to music and she said that it makes her laugh. She immediately thinks Sean D.

Give hubby a hint!<BR/><BR/>Lori, the quality of the converted recording will be as good as the quality of the original, which means my Hugh Masekela CD has some scratchiness to it! I've also learned to break the tracks manually; the automatic break doesn't always work.bettye griffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457387770524295498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35476861.post-64826885364413071532008-10-07T14:34:00.000-05:002008-10-07T14:34:00.000-05:00LOL!

Bettye, I've been wanting one of those very same recorders ever since I first noticed them being advertised. <BR/><BR/>Not only do I like the contraption's old-fashioned appearance, but I have several cassette recordings of my grandmother (telling stories about her childhood and early years of marriage) that I've been hoping to transfer to cds one day. I trust the quality is good?Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09792085144824685369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35476861.post-85783101904295661102008-10-07T14:27:00.000-05:002008-10-07T14:27:00.000-05:00I've been wanting to do this.
