Some of my fondest childhood memories are of weekend visits to our cousins, Jill and Mark Jungheim. My Uncle Ralph would always be the one to answer the door...jovially saying "Come in! You've got to hear this new record!" Or, "I just got a new hifi, wait until you hear it!" And he and my dad would head off into the den, talking statistics of sound. Now, one of my fondest hopes is that when I get up to those big gates and knock on the door, Uncle Ralph will be there to open them for me.... I'm very excited to hear what new music he will have for me next. <3
