Do You Remember?

Upon Napoléon Bonaparte return from Moscow, defeated, busted, and worn out, he says "There is one step between the sublime and the ridiculous".



Hydarnes, Commander of the Immortals: [Xerxes has sent an emissary to demand the Spartan surrender] yesterday, we only probed your positions. When we attack today, our arrows will blot out the sun! Leonidas, Spartan King: Good; then we will fight in the shade.





Oral history is good when it's good. Even Alex Haley's Roots was based on this same tradition. But what will your grandmother say when she catches the bouquet. Or will you really remember what your dad said to you during the first dance? Who said what to who and was it profound, funny or did it have everyone on the floor laughing. Life On Record makes sure all the good lines are safely stored for historians to retell it just like it was, when it happened,way back when. After the CD is created from your event you don't have to worry if something is lost. They have a backup for you to retrieve a new CD. Those loving voices of family and friends can never be silenced. What's really beautiful is being able to hear loved ones voices when they are gone.


It's easy to use, priced well, and preserves' family memories.
