Show Notes

Quirky brought down his Gretsch G2420T for this episode as Carey had a song he wanted to try out with a guitar that had a "Whammy" bar.

Moving on from that, the question of which sound was the first ever to be recorded was on Carey's mind and he had a bit of research done. It was captured in Paris by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville in the late 1850s, nearly two decades before Thomas Edison's phonograph (1877) and Carey gives some explanation as to how he managed it back in the mid 1800's and how it was recreated by some Audio Archaeologists 150 years later. Fair play Ed Lad!

Loads of chat about gear, some stories, laughs & craic throughout. From Carey, Henny & Quirky @ IT'S ALL MUSIC - THANKS FOR LISTENING
