A flash voice from my past
Posted by andrea tomkins in: Easy ways to make kids happy|Multimedia experiments|Oh! Things!
Okay. So I’ve been thinking about Christmas lately. And so, with five bucks in my pocket (I left my wallet at home by accident – doh!) I turned into the parking lot of a nearby thift shop.
Four bucks later I had a small stack of kid’s books and nine cute kiddy records.

I almost, almost, walked away without this one:

His face has been scribbled on by some inconsiderate hooligan who had no idea what he was doing. It’s Uncle Bobby! Remember him?
*crickets*
My goodness. He has his own Wiki entry people!!
Anyone who grew up in the Toronto/Buffalo area in the 1970s might remember.
Anyway, here is an audio snippet from the album I bought … it’s a bit scratchy (as many thrifted records are) but wow, does that ever me back.
