These recordings come from some tapes that Mama Pete made for herself and one for her grand-daughter Carmen Ellis.  You will find some of her thoughts about life, some recollections of things that happened, some recordings of her playing the piano, and even her singing a cappella, or 'simulated singing' as she called it.
