It reminds my own ceremony and dinner, some years ago... In fact, this unique and private event (i mean the one you've post) became by the magic of internet (and the mdigital manipulatins of Mr Bostrom) a public phenomenon, and could be considered as an ethnologic subject. So i think that this post deserves a great consideration. You can study modern jewish social life through this recording. I don't remember what was the orchestra during my B-M, but i'll surely remember Jay jerome. We are also curious of the film that was shot this day. If Mrs Niederman Silver could give us a few moments of the movie, it would be nice. We 'll be glad aqlso to hear a bit of the family, bur maybe it's too personal?? bye for france, and keep on Serge Hello everybody

But how many family actually pressed deluxe albums? My family is from the midwest, the Thomsons from Minneapolis and the Bostroms from Iowa. I must have picked the album up in a second-hand store. I've traveled a lot and have been collecting vinyl for several decades. So this copy could have come from just about anywhere! However, I've spent the most time in two prime retirement areas: Arizona and Florida. I’m not surprised there’s film. But how many family actually pressed deluxe albums?
