My friend sent me this and I just made an account to say I can't believe there are other families with this tradition! It's really my family's only tradition, it's so cool to see others that share it, I thought it was just some record my grandparents liked. I wonder if it's a regional thing, if anyone see's this, where is your family from? My great grandparents all the way down to my parent's have all been from the Midwest, (Iowa mostly).
I haven't really listened to much of it, if you count that part at the beginning of F♯ A♯ ∞ by Gospeed You! Black Emperor as spoken word music, I really like that. I do definitely want explore some of it at some point though.
