Funny you should ask. I recently had a project in for analog tape
transfers to digital. It was of a deceased classical singer, for his
wife.

The concerts, radio programs, and rehearsals were facinating -
including an at-home rehearsal of Babar the elephant (a musical piece
similar to Peter and the Wolf).

However, the kids playing flute, making jokes, and singing, and the
two hours of Christmases in the 1960s, could only be of interest to
family, or historians if a family member was famous enough.

For yourself, certainly, do it. Doubt it would be of interest to
others though.I do like the term "Family ambience" though. Or maybe
personal environment?

Just one person's opinion.
