A Personal Memory

Andrew James Renals recalls calling at his grandmother's house as a recording session was about to begin — an unknowing witness to a piece of living family history.

At his father's funeral, permission was granted to play one of his grandmother's songs — her voice present once more at a family gathering, as it had always been.
