The Music Man got his start in Rock Island, Illinois.  The horns
he sold likely came from Elkhart Indiana, the drums from Gretsch,
the pianos from Wurlitzer and the violins from a Sears catalog.

168 Brian's Instruments (Brian 11)

This podcast will play and discuss old phone answering machine messages.  In the late 1980s, while living in Chicago, I selected certain messages to be duplicated using a double cassette recorder.  Playing them back leads me to explore the intersection of personal history and the larger social and cultural context through the lens of an outdated technology.
New episodes will be posted Sundays.
