Here is a strange sound file that I made one lovely Sunday morning in spring time around the year 2002.
Mom was still asleep. I had woken quite early. I knew I would have to take her to church around 9:30. I was letting her sleep in a bit, and in the meantime, I was using Garage Band for the first time. I recorded the train pulling into the town of Pawling, and then I played the midi keyboard and recorded a hymn from the Christian Science Hymnal, which mom loves. (As mom had pointed all my life, out over and over, “the hymn was based on a Jewish melody”) I did my best piano rendition. Around 8, she finally did get up. She walked into the room and I recorded her commenting on the train, and asking me if I wanted a cup of tea. I put it together with the hymn … and there you go. Enjoy��

Here is Mom and here sister Connie when they were teenagers on the their brother’s motorcycles, next to their house in the Bronx, in what is now Co-Op City. And surprise ! The house is still there in the middle of all the those buildings!
