Henry’s asking about my oldest memory. Now that one I recall, loud and clear. I’m a young man, seventeen or so, tickling the Ivories in the recording room. Singing. Back then we’d have to sing in front of this big horn, real big-like, I ain’t really ever grasped the concept of that thing but I assume it was capturing the sound somehow. I know they connect it to the stylus for the wax, and it etches as we go. That was before the handy dandy microphone, so things were a bit, ah, acoustical. I’m not a very machine-minded guy, I was just there to give them the tunes, so I just gave them the tunes, and left that kinda doohickey managing to the big boys. Nice memory. Air filling in my lungs and then out like a bullet. Sharp and dense enough to knock a guy dead. Don’t remember singing that proudly any other time in my life. My music kept falling off the piano as I practiced.

On the way back home, Maybelle couldn’t wait to tell Eck about the session. He would have loved the machines: the heavy spinning turntable covered with an inch and a half of wax, powered by a system of pulleys and weights housed in a tall wooden tower. The microphone ran off electricity. Maybelle couldn’t have told her husband how the thing actually worked. And she didn’t have words to describe the static jolt it gave her when they initially played back the sound; it was like she’d found her own image in the mirror for the first time.

Do you remember how you entered the abime? Did you do it on purpose?

Ain't got any memory of it, no. Just seems like one day the memories stopped.
