I have a tape recording of my dad singing a few lines from a song when he first had cancer. It was part of a project I was making, utilizing the tape speed switch. I was making a bunch of funny voices, some slow and some fast. I asked Dad to sing me a song.

Bada boom, bada bye

I feel good

like I knew I would

I feel good

Like I knew I would

Bada boom bada bye, bada boom bada bye


That's the first and last recording I have of my dad. I didn't get a camera until later, so there are no videos or pictures that I have on file. It's the videos I really want. Mom has tons of pictures laying around, surely.

But the best thing is my mom's old tape recorder and one of her old cassette tapes in the safe in my room with the batteries removed to prevent acid damage, with the sound of singing barely audible over the white noise.

Sometimes I filch the batteries from my camera and listen for a while.

That's awesome you have a recording like that. Sometimes I watch old home videos just to hear my mom's voice. I feel like a terrible person because I cannot remember what it sounds like :-/ Videos really are the best for memories.

Heh, you may not discover this comment for a while, if at all
But you posted this at exactly 11:11. I'm sure you know of the whole good-luck-wish-at-11:11 ordeal. I donno, it just kind of stood out that you would talk about a memory like that and then post it at that exact time.
Maybe it's a sign.
Or maybe my mind is just thinking up weird stuff more than usual. -shrug-

I do like this memory, though.
