Summer's End 2011

The Story: This is my first Analog (Panasonic Incoming Message Cassette) conversion to Digital of my Grandmother—"Lola" Loling talking to our answering machine in New Jersey to leave a message to family. She is saying something about "coming over here or there to eat" in her native tongue in Tagalog. It's followed by a short conversation for context to mark the time/era by my mom and her friend Phil from Philadelphia.

Someone please transcribe to English please.

When I was a kid and I would hear the song "Lola" by the Kinks I used to think that's pretty cool that they did a song about my Grandmother. She was/is pretty cool like that.

"It's a crazy planets."

Here's to Stella and technology
