A FEW NOTES ABOUT THIS "BLOG":

Up to this point in time, this space is not one I've seriously pursued as a "form" as many others have done (some in very outstanding and extremely valuable ways ... or something less, as the case may be).

This has been a space I've occasionally put things I don't want to disappear. One will also find restorations of 78 rpm and long playing (LP) historical recordings I've made – which represent a kind of proof that I don't despise all of the technical progress made in the digital realm (OK – with the definite exception of commercial music CD's ... to my mind the single greatest rip-off in the history of recorded sound ... a very unfortunate development which, on the other hand, I'm happy to say that some listeners are now beginning to catch on to). In fact, this kind of restoration was exactly what I wanted to accomplish when I was a teenager with my long playing records – except that the technical means were simply not there yet. But now they are thanks to a retired mathematician in Australia:

(Only please keep in mind that some of these restorations were "tests" when I made them – or "works-in-progress" – and may not reflect what I'm doing presently in this area in terms of sound, etc.)


Plus an account of – including scans from – a forgotten book: The First World War: A Photographic History – edited and published in 1933 by Laurence Stallings (1894-1968), playwright, screenwriter, novelist, literary critic, and journalist:
