This one's for mom

Happy birthday to my mom. She is the best mom, and she will assuredly make a smooth transition into being the best grandma.

We've already sent her a physically tangible birthday present, but here's a high-tech online bonus present for her, which I will share with all our loyal furdell.com readers: an hour-long clip from KOL-AM radio in Seattle, from 1962, right around when the Century 21 World's Fair Expo goodness was going on (the same event that gave us the Space Needle; note: I almost just typed Space Noodle). I don't know if she listened to this station, but nonetheless it's a cool memento of old-school Seattle.

(Technical note to mom: these are big files, 30 MB each, so you'll probably want to download them at school, save them to disk and copy to a USB key. Then you can bring the USB key home and import the files into your iTunes library, and listen to them there or on your iPod.)

Track 1
Track 2

That opening jingle on the first track always makes me happy. We ARE the number one-derful people in Seattle.
