Any special or unique foods?
Did you have a fourth mazah or empty seat for a specific cause?
Ever do a seder in an exotic country or unusual location?
Fond memories?
Funny stories of Eliyahu HaNavi or hiding the afkoman?
Unusual customs?
Email me to arrange for me to record you.
My grandfather led it and we had a large extended family get together at The Lakehouse Hotel. The Haggadah were a panoply collected from over the years.
Last year I left historical Egypt on erev pesach so as to be across the yam suf for the start of Pesach and I celebrated the day al suf hayam.

The afikoman hiding and finding was delightful, utterly delightful.
For years and years my scientific mind would watch closely the kos shel eliyahu to see him sip. I never did but everybyear I wished I could be just credulous enough to do so.
The best custom was that for those few years at the lakehouse my family was always the last one to leave as we would sing and sing throughout the night.
As for redording and your passion/skill with that, we should consider working together as you can see quite plainly my passion/skill in that field does not equal yours. Look at the conversation video and note how rarely my face actually makes an appearance in that historic video.
