Thanks to Pat Vining, we have some audio recordings made by
her father Angus Walker during Christmas Parties in 1965 and in
1977. Angus captured unsuspecting (and sometimes skeptical)
relatives and friends for posterity and boy, we're happy he
did!
Pat gave everyone a copy of the tape during the 2002 Christmas Party. We've digitally broken the tape up into snippets to make it easier to navigate and find the just the right section. We tried to digitally remove some of the noise and hum inherent in reel-to-reel portable recorders of the 60s and 70s but some remains. Click on the snippet on the left hand side to listen to the voices in order on the right:
