Answering Machine Messages

In the early 1980's, when I purchased my first telephone answering machine, to make life more interesting for callers, I began to record song parodies as my outgoing message, which I updated regularly. I recently found a cassette on which I had preserved several of these. You can listen to each by clicking on its title.
