I recorded this on Christmas Day, 1985 using my Sony TC-D5M cassette recorder with my Sony ECM-939 LT electret condenser microphone. It was recorded at my parents home in Martinez, California and features my grandmother, my mother, father, and myself.

I’m noticing this recording may have some of the best fidelity. Keeping the microphone as close as possible probably helped. My mother and grandmother we’re concerned I might damage the microphone by holding it too close to the open flame of a burner on the gas stove.
Oh my! What a great Christmas present. Yet another gap year filled in the collection. Downloading now, can’t wait to listen. Thank you so much, kind sir!
Question (which hopefully doesn’t sound too grabby or greedy) : is this all you recorded that year? Just curious since most of the previously available holiday tapes go for about an hour (or more).
Happy New Year Weatherman x
what is going to happen if something happens to you and all the family tapes don’t get uploaded? this keeps me awake at night……
