Yeah.
Are you familiar with the Internet?
A little bit.
I had some grad students helping me build a dot-com for my work when I was retiring.
You never know what you'll wish you had preserved.
That's why it's good you're recording this.
Why is that, if you don't mind my asking?
I don't mind being on tape.
I'm just curious.
Well, I'm glad you're doing it either way.
I'm a bit envious, to be honest, though it is a nice change being on the other side of the mic for once.
Yep.
My dad was an engineer, worked for the TVA for 40 years.
That was after they eminent-domained the family property, of course, but you can't beat them, join them, right?
Anyway, he was a part-time tinkerer outside of work, always had a project going, ham radio and the like.
He managed to get his hands on an early Edison recorder through a work connection.
Thing weighed half a ton.
I had to help him haul it around.
And we had a family that worked the coal mines growing up, always heard stories from that time.
That's where he got interested in the songs.
