Everyone can do that.bigsiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435879973761006243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13746420.post-1143638247995816512006-03-29T07:17:00.000-06:002006-03-29T07:17:00.000-06:00This is very cool sip.This is very cool sip.Mat Brewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10572618956112125321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13746420.post-1143575397818199322006-03-28T13:49:00.000-06:002006-03-28T13:49:00.000-06:00We've been recording family musicc makings since t...We've been recording family musicc makings since there were things you could record on.<BR/><BR/>My dad transferred some music makings from reel-to-reels not long ago onto CDs and we have already transferred past cassettes in the same way.<BR/><BR/>ALL of my uncle Bob's recordings will be in that box. That is EVERY song he wrote, all on CD.<BR/><BR/>We taped the music making the other night and plan to put it and everyother one on CD, too.<BR/><BR/>Chronicling this type of stuff is all a part of our heritage. <BR/><BR/>The records are cool, mullins! You should xfer that to CD, too!<BR/><BR/>I'm way excited about the legacy box, man. It'll be another of those priceless artifacts of family history.bigsiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435879973761006243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13746420.post-1143573174015309622006-03-28T13:12:00.000-06:002006-03-28T13:12:00.000-06:00Dude you have to go one better.

You MUST buy a tape recorder or something and have him record as many of those songs as possible.<BR/><BR/>I know you said he’s got some CD’s and things and that’s wonderful. You need to document the rest of the material. You really should record the music making too. Luke will find them fascinating someday.<BR/><BR/>My uncle LB on Dad’s side was a bit of a musician and played locally for years. He cut a few 45’s and I’ve got one go along with the memories of seeing him play at some local dives. Loving music like I do I wish I had an opportunity to hear more of his stories and experience more of his music before he “retired.”<BR/><BR/>I know that Jules adopted father has a notebook of the songs his father wrote while “working for the state” and wishes he could remember how they are all supposed to sound.<BR/><BR/>VERY cool now matter what.<BR/><BR/>Just imagine how your dad feels knowing you’re the holder of such a family tradition. What a proud pappa.mullinz8https://www.blogger.com/profile/18281212571618971818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13746420.post-1143563937110465272006-03-28T10:38:00.000-06:002006-03-28T10:38:00.000-06:00I can't even begin to explain how much of an honor...I can't even begin to explain how much of an honor it is to me.<BR/><BR/>My post is completely inadequate in explaining how much it means.<BR/><BR/>This is his Opus. This body of work means more to him and our family than almost anything.<BR/><BR/>It's better than a Grammy. I agree with you, Jamison. I'm glad he'll at least get some sort of recognition.bigsiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13435879973761006243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13746420.post-1143563363695506452006-03-28T10:29:00.000-06:002006-03-28T10:29:00.000-06:00I think it is a shame that, in our society, ones s...I think it is a shame that, in our society, ones success as a musician or songwriter is almost measured by what has gotten on the radio...<BR/><BR/>There are probably thousands of men like Uncle Bob who are a genius song writer and musician, yet dont need the lights and glamour of Hollywood or Nashville.<BR/><BR/>Passing thoughts and ideas from one family member to the other was probably like winning a Grammy to him.JShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837745315360109036noreply@blogger.com
