Bill W. speaking twice at Founders Day in Akron OH in 1965. This is the best quality recording of Bill I have ever heard.
In the first half of this speak Bill talks about how AA began and about the earliest days of AA
The second speak, at the Mayflower Hotel in Akron Ohio is about how the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous was written, the project and the actual writing and then how the Big Book was first printed and published. Repost from early 2017.

This recording is mostly Bill W speaking at the third annual International AA convention held in Long Beach California in 1960, along the way he introduces Lois, Ebby and Sister Ignatia. Each takes the mic for a bit at their introduction, also Bill tells a good bit of his story along with information about the creation of AA. The overall quality of this recording is excellent it cleaned up really well, there a few audio artifacts but its an easy listen.

This one was a bit of a bear, it is a pretty well known speak called "The Chalk Talk" it was presented many times by Father Joe and there are many versions of it around. The hard part was finding one that didnt have truly awful sound. I spent well over an hour working on this audio and I think it is quite listenable now.
Father Joe got sober in 1958 at The Guest House, it was founded and operated by Austin R, who came across a copy of the Saturday Evening Post article on Alcoholics Anonymous. As a result of the article Austin R began his journey of recovery through AA, eventually opening The Guest House. Father Joe met Austin on his first day at The Guest House, he also was introduced to Dr. Walter G, himself a recovering alcoholic. Dr. G was the first to talk about the intellect and the emotion and how drugs and alcohol cause the emotions to over-rule the intellect.
Father Joe deeply admired Austin and was so impressed with Dr. G's lectures, that he saved his notes and 14 years later would use them as the source of his famous "Chalk Talks". The occasional clicking you hear in this speak are the source of the name, as Father Joe is writing on the chalk board. No clue where or when this particular one was recorded.
Im not sure why it took me so long to post anything by Father Joe, but I have well over 50 speaks by him, email me if you are interested in hearing more from him.

He is speaking as a guest of AA at this particular meeting, and presents a very interesting perspective on the early days and formation of AA. Repost from 2018.

Bill W tells some of his story in this speak at the Oklahoma State Conference in Oklahoma City in May of 1951. Many of the speaks from Bill have to do with the creation of AA and its future, this one is much more personnel. Bill gets into his encounter with Ebby and the specifics of the conversation they had that started Bills journey to sobriety and creating AA.
This ends abruptly as Bill is telling the story about how it was suggested he should contact John Rockefeller. This audio cleaned up really well, it is one of the best quality recordings of Bill I have heard.
