This is true...
This might sound kinda strange but I can be legally deaf if I wanted to be. I don't want to be because as I said to idiot doctor "Why in hell would I ever want to be deaf?" His reply was "You can get benefits, most people want them".
It is true that in hearing I miss allot but the sounds I miss I don't know anyway. Result is I don't care.
My point?
I love music but I love music on my feet, in my cup, on my table and in the breeze. I think sometimes I feel more than I hear but I love feeling it.
Advantage is I miss some of the bad squeeks, blurps and inaudible sounds that piss others off, but I can live with that and still don't care...
Peace!
Funk!

First sound recordings were 20 years before Thomas Edison
Earliest Known Sound Recordings Revealed
Researchers unveil imprints made 20 years before Edison invented phonographPosted June 1, 2009
By Ron Cowen, Science News
WASHINGTON—The muffled sounds from more than 150 years ago resemble the “wa wa” of the unseen teacher in the Peanuts cartoons. It would be impossible to know that someone was playing the coronet and guitar, although other fragments, from a dramatic speech from Shakespeare’s Othello, might be discerned if you knew the lines by heart in French.
Scott's 1859 drawing of his phonautograph shows a device in which a stylus inscribed sound waves on soot-blackened paper wrapped around a hand-cranked cylinder. The device allowed him to make longer recordings by producing a continuous, heliacal pattern, or phonautogram (at right), as the cylinder turned and the stylus moved.
Yet these sound bites and other snippets, unveiled May 29 by historians at the annual meeting of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections, are the earliest known recordings. A bunch of wavy lines scratched by a stylus onto fragile paper that had been blackened by the soot from an oil lamp date from 1857. That’s 20 years before Edison invented the phonograph.
Parisian inventor Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville never intended for the soot-lined imprint of the sound waves to be played back, the historians reported. But the inventor hoped the visual patterns of the sound waves he had recorded using a hornlike device with the stylus attached resembling an artificial ear — called a phonautograph — might one day be read like sheet music to recreate a singer’s voice or the timbre of a musical instrument.
Instead, these visual renditions of sound, known as phonautograms, languished at the French patent office and elsewhere in Paris for some 150 years. In 2008, record historian David Giovannoni of Derwood, Md., and his colleagues, part of an informal group of researchers known as First Sounds, uncovered the first cache of them. Last year, he and First Sounds colleague Patrick Feaster of Indiana University in Bloomington played what appeared to be a recording of a young girl singing a 10-second snippet of the French folksong “Au Clair de la Lune,” which Léon Scott had recorded in 1860.
But a group of thought-to-be-lost Léon Scott phonautograms was found late last year in Paris and dates from 1857. “It was immediately apparent that this would be some of the most important [phonographic] excavations to date,” Giovannoni said.
Sound historian Sam Brylawski, former head of the Library of Congress’ recorded sound division in Washington, D.C., and now affiliated with the University of California, Santa Barbara, said the new findings are important on several levels. These are not only the first known recordings, Brylawski notes, but are “providing the full picture of the history of recorded sound.… This is a biography unfolding.”
Yet until last fall, Feaster said, he and his colleagues weren’t sure they’d be able to play any of the oldest phonautograms. Among the problems: The wavy lines etched by the stylus sometimes looped back on themselves. And the side of the stylus, instead of the narrow tip, sometimes seemed to have scraped the surface of the sheet.
Using a technique employed in producing audio for movies, Feaster managed to coax some fuzzy sounds from the 1857 recordings. He also realized that phonautograms his team had previously transcribed, using a laser as a virtual stylus, had been played back at twice the actual speed. What sounded like a girl singing the French folksong was actually Léon Scott singing, Feaster now concludes.
In 1878, some two decades after his invention, Léon Scott was devastated when Thomas Edison received accolades from around the world for the invention of the phonograph. “Come Parisians, don’t let them take our prize,” Léon Scott exhorted in a memoir. “I beseech all stout-hearted men and I thank God some still remain to proclaim my name in this matter. For I am getting old, the father of two sons, and all I can leave them is my good name.”
Léon Scott died a year later. Now his unearthed recordings have finally found acclaim.
FLY, LITTLE BEE
This is the only phonautogram Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville identified as made with an "amplifying lever," his last known phonautographic design change. It is therefore presumably also his last known phonautogram, dating from late September 1860 or maybe even later.
EARLIEST AUDIBLE RECORD
As of mid-May 2009, this phonautogram of the opening lines of Torquato Tasso's pastoral drama Aminta is the earliest audible record of recognizable human speech.

Green Tambourine - Lemon Pipers
NOTE: " I do not endorse or support the emotional or physical abuse of Teddy-Bears. The only reason I laugh when seeing a Teddy-Bear abused, bopped over the head with a guitar and mushed in the face with a knee is because I myself was abused somewhat like that by my first girl-friend and I laugh at seeing this because it reminds me of how funny it must have looked when she did that stuff to me".

Watch this one, she is more fine tuned than any piano I've ever heard. Woman can sing so beautifully....

Mister Eric Burdon...
This was the toughest guy alive folks. When I was three he was the most powerful guy in the world. He could beat up Superman, Batman, the Joker and all the other guys. He would kick ass on 100 men, look back at another 100 men an tell em to beat themselves up and they would, then he'd say to the last guy standing "Beat yerself up some more" and then he would too...
He was also the coolest guy alive in the whole wide world. He was an idol, an icon and he showed us what we wanted to be.... This is Eric Burdon of The Animals!
Best for last again...

We Five - You Were On My Mind
Probably posted this twice. Shoot me if it hurts yer feelins, but I love it!
I live here!
I don't have to do this
I live here!
I don't have to care
I live here!
I don't owe you love
I live here!
I Don't live in America Bitch!
I live on God's earth,
I Live Here!
Nothing about you interests me
I see your shallowness and pride
Still I will offer feed to you
because feed did not come from me
should a thought enter into your mind
I'd like to hear it too,,, but...
the rest, you should keep it close
I'm not par to trends or SHIT
necessary wisdom is the mind to shut it up
anger is a policy and a defense "watch what you eat"
burdens are useful baggage, means you took on more than yer load
hesitation is a luxury, you can go hands down & fold
uselessness is a propriety, sometimes the useless are the bold
kings have gone where all men go and the rich lay rotting with the poor
mine is not a currency, not to trade or to be shared
my wealth is nothing you can ever touch
my wealth is in God above...
Peace!
LOL, this and last poem were supposed to be about my Love for God. I guess God didn't want me talkin about Him
I live here!

Denial!
Spirituality exists in sufferance,
Capacity, endurance and pain.
Reality in negotiation,
exchange, compromise, fear and in shame.
lies exist in reasoning, same from those above..
Wart grows upon a hand, then it travels up both arms.
Death is a reality... How real I just don't know.
Blood flows in it's own stream like a path of certain hope.
Wicked falls behind me and rises above me each day.
Fear dominates me but fear feeds me all this strength.
Wisdom is just a fantasy. Like a thought could ever be tamed?
And love it overwhelms me. I love so many my heart is faint.
Jokes resent reality, no joke ever spoken without the thought.
The joke presents the thought as mockery but the thought also uses the joke.
Shame is the disaster.. It kills both man and man, both woman and child.
I know what I implicated there, get on with it, it's part of life.
Shadows loom like a spinners wheel, all contain what they gather.
Memories even more so. Half of death is half your life.
Dragons, beasts and nightmares too...
All you fear or you deny are all tiny parts of you.
Objection is just denial!

Andy Pratt Revisited...
Another post on Andy Pratt. Mostly because you people keep hitting his pages on here like mad.
Doesn't matter though because he seems like a pretty good guy and I like his music anyway.
Some of these I have never heard before but will hear em as I post them.
I'm sure you will like all of them and if you wish to see more I will post links to previous posts about his work at bottom of this post.
Please don't think I know him because I never met or saw him. I never met many people I post here. This is not about fame or representation of fame. It is about sharing cares, idea's, ideals & art. Nothing more and nothing less! Point?
Fun in the first world.
This one's Love Insurance, really nice flow to it..
Who will be my friend?
(from the First World EP)
Very nice indeed!
As always and a re post but I always post the best last and this one I have loved since I was a young boy...
No Title needed!
Links are as follows:
First post I simply titled "Classic" [LINK]
Second was called "New Andy Post" [LINK] It does contain Who will be my friend and a different version of Avenging Annie.
I strongly suggest you support this man "as I have" by purchasing copies of his work because often an artist gives to you more than is comprehensible in emotion, feeling and gift and they need support to continue.
I know this because I myself am an artist but very rarely will I share anything I do because unlike those I post here I am NOT willing to go that far. I will NOT give you my emotion except in shards, or my feeling except under heavy restraint and my gift is MINE. I do not have the balls to expose myself as a true artist does.
End of post!

End of post!

Grandfather Economic Report on Federal Government Debt - Ever wonder to whom this massive Debt is owed? This massive site has the answer to this and other other questions.

Also, the U.S. Department of the Treasury provides daily, monthly, and yearly figures for the Debt--to the penny! These are the figures I use to calibrate this Debt Clock.
This debt clock is maintained by Ed Hall (edhall@brillig.com). It was last calibrated using information obtained from the U.S. Department of the Treasury dated 28 May 2009. Population figures are derived from the U.S. Bureau of the Census' Population Clock.
