Records from the Distant Past - 78 LPs

Growing up, we had a record player and records. Two memorable records are currently available to listen to on YouTube:  

Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8uFRJ4NuNA

The Carrot Seed:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHxLfBSU-9E

Bricks on the The Grove Plaza,

Larry and Pam purchased a brick on The Grove Plaza, downtown Boise (Front and Main Streets), for Mom and Dad (incidentally, for Bill and Marcella Weldon too).  It is located in Row 211 South.

Music

Mom and Dad went to all of my concerts growing up and afterwards they took me to Delsa's Ice Cream Parlour for a treat.  They kept the programs from the concerts as well.

Shortly before I left home to go to Denver University, I sang Mary's Lullaby during the 11th Ward's Christmas program.  Dad kept the program and even recorded the program.

The T-Bird "Truck"

In 1980, we had some big bushes in front of the garage.  We worked hard to remove them and finally only had the roots left in the ground.  Dad decided that he had had enough shovel work for the day and decided to hook a rope or chain to the back of the T-Bird and use it to pull the roots out of the ground.  Dad was kind of a car guy--he loved the turquoise T-Bird.  It had power and style.  However, he also could be very practical when push came to shove (or in this case, pull) and would use the car as a truck. Here is a photo of the job done.

This is how I remember our house looking when we moved there in 1971.
