Nothing like that crackle

1 September, 2009 by moi

On this day – in 1887 – Mr. Emile Berliner filed for a patent for his invention of the lateral-cut, flat-disk gramophone. Well, La-dee-da, you say!  And I should guess – it’s the record player to us, my friends.  Sure, the sound may not have been the best.  But there’s something about that crackle that sparks a bit of romance.  Perhaps it’s the history, a nostalgia for a simpler time.  Perhaps it’s the sound, music in it’s rawest form.  Whatever the reason, I dare say it’s proof that imperfect, may very well be perfect in its own right …

Greetings & salutations

Just in case you're wondering what you've gotten yourself into, my blog's a lot like life: it's a hodge-podge. So pour yourself a steaming cup of goodness, settle in, and I'll tell you all about it--whatever 'it' happens to be . . .

The fine print

Magpie & Muttonfly is the place where I write about all the things that make our stories grand. Emphasis on me, myself, and I. Any review or recommendation posted on this site is solely my own {unless otherwise noted}. Occasionally you will find a link to Amazon.com. An eternal window shopper, I only list items that strike my fancy. Any time you click the link and proceed to make a purchase, I get a wee referral fee. You will not be charged more--but once or twice a year I earn enough to purchase a tin of my favorite tea. So I do thank you for that!
