The Mystery Machine

The Mystery Machine


One day my father came home with a large box with two reels on the side.  He asked us what it might be and we had no idea. As we discussed the possibilities of what it could be, he was taping  us.  When he played it back to us we were gobble smacked.  It was true magic indeed! We could hear our voices speak to us from that box.  I’ll never forget the impression that left on me. I was fascinated!  I remember my father listening to his classical music on that reel to reel for years. It must have been the absolute, very first tape recorder.
