Meet Offramp producer Taylor Orci's abuelo. A few years ago, Taylor brought her recorder to her grandfather's house, plunked down a few old pictures, and hit record.

Ramon Aragon, or "Ray" as many knew him, was Offramp producer Taylor Orci's abuelo. He died on Monday, March 27.

Ray was a teenager when he moved from Albuquerque to LA in the 40's. Something special the family have is many black and white pictures of old Los Angeles.

A few years ago, Taylor brought her recorder to her grandfather's house, plunked down a few old pictures, and asked Ray to talk about about them.

And though she didn't plan on eventually crafting the recordings into a remembrance, they have become one.
