043- The Gualcophone, by Alan Nelson, 1952

Wherein a mutant creates a new musical instrument!

Ruiz Tremello & Marguerite are in Vancouver, Columbia, at a 9-star restort in the Andes Mountains, following a misadventure where they definitely didn't locate the Oak Island Treasure! Back for the Season 3 Premiere, Ruiz & Marguerite are discussing Alan Nelson's 1952 short story, "The Gualcophone", about a mutant who creates a new musical instrument. Alan Nelson has been featured on the podcast before, for Episode 35, "Soap Opera"- and Ruiz loves the personality of his stories, of which he's (apparently) only ever written 8. We'll work on collecting his remaining 6 stories in future episodes, to bring some attention to this unknown but talented author.
