Today, it is all 'sound bites'


Many, many years ago, there was no such thing as 'sound'. Then someone invented a means of recording voices on 'tin?' foil and Thomas Edison, always thinking, improved on the technique and the "Gram-o-phone" was born. If you want to know more details look no further than the local expert, Mr. Bruce Straby, seen above in the Goulbourn History Museum, giving a very informative and entertaining look at sound from its early beginnings with examples and demonstrations of some early wind-up phonographs. Pickle and Pearl were enthralled having grown up on Ascalonia with flurgles and busticators. It was very nostalgic!
Little fly upon the book/ Do you read or merely look?/ If I slam Shakespeare's works on top/ Then you'll come to the next full stop.
