The photos to the left are my grandparents: Audrey and Andrew Primrose, Grace and Hal Ingles. All died in the seventies and although we had cassette and reel-to-reel recording devices at that time, we never had the forethought to record any of them talking about their rich lives. I would pay a high price to be able to hear their voices again.

Cedar Creek Studios can help you avoid the same mistake. We will sit down with your family members and get them to reminiscing about their own histories. We record the sessions on digital recording devices. Back at our studios, we will separate individual stories from the bulk interviews and make them individual tracks on one or two CDs for your family to share and enjoy for decades to come. It's the perfect gift for the younger members of the family. Believe me, if they don't appreciate it now, they will in the years to come. These CDs are also a special way to mark landmark birthdays or anniversaries. I made the package at the right for my parents to mark their 50th wedding anniversary.

And the final one (at left) was made for my mother's 77th birthday. Needless to say, it was a big hit and now both my parents, their three kids and five grandkids all have a copy. Don't lose your family history, call us today to find out how you can preserve your stories.
