Because of the rarity of these items it is certain that the value continue increase over time.                                                          This record was given to Bill Wilson by Jean B. Kerns, I’ve been unable to find out any information about her.  The writing on the record states the follows;    First side – “Play this side first” which is a brief statement to Bill that simple says    “Hello Bill, I had an inspiration from that higher power which I care to call God.  The result is on the other side MY DAILY PRAYER I hope you like it.”   Second side – “MY PRAYER” Music by Jean B. Kerns, sung by Cecil K accompanied by Jean Kearns. Copyrighted – 1951.     In 1973 Lois Wilson decided to donate some items that belonged to Bill W to her friends from Texas Bill & Arbutus O'N.  Bill & Arbutus owned and operated the Midwest Tape Library which was a private library, dedicated to preserve the audio history of Alcoholics Anonymous and Al-Anon.    The O'Neal's did a wonderful job for many year's gathering recordings and other A.A./ Al-Anon memorabilia from all parts of the world and hardly a weekend past when Bill wasn't recording a round-up or convention.   I will also include a letter of authenticity stating all the information about this collection.   Direct questions to Mike@aaitems.com   CHECK OUT MY OTHER LISTINGS!     Place a Bid!
