I have it on mine - I just finished listening to it. It made me so happy to hear Edie, I just beamed. She talks to Al about how she kept calling AT&T because she was having problems with her phone, and she couldn't hear it when it rung, how nice it was for him to send her a Christmas card, how she was a Democrat all her life, and hoped that Al Gore would get into the presidency in 2005, how her December was ruined with they craziness of the voting down in Florida, if he could send her some "big" pins, about how many people come up to Al and say how much they loved Edie and her mother, how many fan letters she gets, and how he has to come to see her. Her exact words were: "You might die, somebody might shoot you or something, so you have to get down here." Lol! One of the saddest parts of the conversation was Edie proclaiming that she's loved Al for all these years, and is sorry she didn't snatch him up and marry him when she had the chance.
Her voice aged a bit, but it still sounded like good ol' Edie - her accent didn't fade one bit. I just loved being able to listen to her more recently. She was such a sweetheart.

I thought it was so funny when she told Al she wanted the "big" safety pins, and Al asked her "how big, about two inches?" And she kept saying, "What?" It was so Edie.

I know! And she'd say "Oh, I can't hear you; isn't that a shame?" and just move on to a new subject. Lol.

It really IS classic. I was so incredibly pleasantly surprised when I first heard it. It felt like a Christmas present, or something. Even when I hear it now, I can't stop smiling.
