My grandmother, Magdalene Law (pictured left), is 90-years-young and has lots of stories. Stories from her childhood growing up in Budapest Hungary, stories about coming to America as a young girl at the beginning of the 20th century, stories as a school teacher, mother, daughter, sister, wife, grandmother, and now great-grandmother.

My grandmother always told me to “appreciate what you have” because so many, have so much less. She is a friend, an inspiration to our family, and a moral compass for everyone who knows her.

I thought it was time to capture some of my grandmother’s stories. So, we recorded this weekend on my laptop at my parents’ house. I used a Digidesign MBox with Pro Tools recording software and a Shure SM7 microphone that I have from my work as a recording engineer and producer at The Longhouse recording studio in Cambridge, MA.

Over the coming weeks, my grandmother and I will work together to create a podcast that tells her story. So, check back soon to listen!
