As Patrick describes this, "It wasn’t the first time they’d done such a thing, either: the Tindles had been recording themselves and their friends and neighbors for about ten years at that point and had even made a similar Thanksgiving record back in 1911." In Patrick's Griffonage-Dot-Com blog he shares "both Thanksgiving records, along with nine more of the Tindles’ home-recorded cylinders." Listen and enjoy!
