The funny thing about music is that one note follows another. That note might go up, it might go down, it might stay the same but basically— one note after another. Simple things are, I think, the most difficult to master. I remember the years I was studying Organic Chemistry and Calculus. These subjects […]
Doorbell Doctors
People have been selling fake medical miracles for a long time. This 1950’s PSA warned elders about some of the most common scams of the time. If X-Rays are good, shouldn’t Z-Rays be better?
