When I was a young teenager, my father would gather the family at various times around the hi-fi. Know what that was? It was essentially a piece of furniture with built-in speakers on either end and a record player in the middle. What I remember most is that it often played a vinyl album of humorous stories told by a White man named Dick Reeves in the Gullah dialect.
