Hi Guys,

I had the opportunity to work on a recording project for my daugter this weekend for her school social studies project. She was assigned the task to record a mock radio show from the era of the 1910-1920 and she asked me to help her with the recording. The kids had to write all of the material and include interviews with various people from the era, and include commercials for things that might have been around at that time, etc. I recorded her and her classmate's speaking segments and we made background music and sound effects for the different pieces. It was a blast and they all really enjoyed it. I think that we may have inspired a few kids to look at careers in media production. Some of them really got into it.

It was kind of fun to come up with little jingles for some of the commercials. We didn't do anything fancy, just basic parts using a general midi sound library, but it was fun writing these little tunes to try and make them fit the speaking parts.
