My mother and aunt drove from California to visit us in Alabama and brought stuff that would be passed on to me. My mom gave me clocks that I bought her when I was stationed in Germany that she made sure I would get them. To my surprise she gave me my great grandparents music box as they called it. I just pushed most of it in the garage but one day I made room for my so called music box when I called my aunt and told her that I thought it was bigger.
She just laughed at me saying I was just a small kid back then and it looked bigger and what got me was when I was on the phone I told her that granny used to love Nat King Cole at the same time my wife found a hidden compartment and on top was Nat king Cole while I was on the phone, That was a once I a million that could have happen and scared the you know what out of me.
I looked up the brand and ser# and found it was made in 1947 and to afraid to hook it up to real power for the wire looked real old plus vacuum tubes. I got a lot of stuff that my great grandparents owned and my mom asked if we could spread her ashes on our land she loved it that much. 15 minutes after my mom and aunt left my aunt called me and said go into the bedroom and look under your pillow. There was 1.200 bucks under my pillow and told me put it on a tractor because when she come back she wants to drive it.
My aunt always loves to tell the story when I was 10 and started up my grandpa's JD and got scared and did not how to turn it off. That tractor ran all morning and all day and when he got home he shut it off and took me to the wood shed. Don't laugh I am sure some of you had to cut a switch at times.
