A Box of 78s - DinahBird This is the story of a box A leather box that is over eighty years old and has lived in three different countries, and on two different continents. It contains over fifty 78 rpm recordings of classical music and opera hits of the day. The box and it’s contents were inherited by my grandmother who was born on the Gulf Islands (BC) in 1910. She grew up on Salt Spring. She took the box with her when she left the island in 1925 and carried it to her various adult homes until her death in 2000. In September 2012 I took the box of records back to Salt Spring Island. This piece is about rekindling lost, and perhaps forgotten, sounds. Are they so very different to those my grandmother heard ? It will be released later in the year on the Gruenrekorder label. http://www.gruenrekorder.de/?page_id=1922
