The final installment of the 1985 audio tour of Great Britain begins with birdwatchers in London’s Hyde Park. Then I ask the perennial question, which is better, dogs or cats?


  Britain 1985, Part 3: Dogs, Cats, and Memories by James Gurney

The sound clip runs about 15 minutes and includes a hammered dulcimer, an early interactive video console in Cardiff, vintage sounds of an ‘80s game arcade, an interview with Krishna devotees, recollections from ladies remembering their childhoods in York, and a sampling of classic American accents.


The pencil sketch shows the Caernarfon harbor in Wales, where at low tide the boats rest on double keels.

Don't forget to vote in the dog and cat poll at left.
