Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for April 26, 2023

Tell him yes. That you asked Dana to “Poof!” you back then with your recorder, and then to bring you back.

Sure, Sal, why not?

Sal like Jell-O the longer he sits the thicker he gets

cool

No.

I’ve seen and heard music played by rolling a steel ball down a series of tuned boards. This makes me wonder whether a talented 14th century person could carve groves and dimples into a long resonant board (wood because that was available in the 14th century), such that dragging a metal, or glass, rod over the surface would create distinct sounds. The carved board becomes the ‘tape’ recording. Then someone could automate the carving process (recoding process) and the wooden 14th century music recording industry would have been born. Carrying around ten foot boards of your tunes would never become popular, but … they could done it so long as they didn’t ask, “should we do it?”

I like a t-shirt I once about a sign on a music store – “Bach soon, Offenbach sooner.” I imagine she has all that music on her play Liszt.

Well, they are recorded by a group called “The Original Artists”. :)

Original instruments digitalized. Why bother?

I love early music. Give me an istampitta.
