What Happened on Twenty-Third Street, New York City (1901)
Uploaded by: lordopen
Video Description:
an old Thomas Edison film with new music by Billy's Masonic Tavern.
The corner of 23rd Street and 6th Avenue was renowned for its gusty breezes that might allow a man to catch a glimpse of a woman's stockings. In this staged scene we see Alfred Abadie, an Edison cameraman, and Florence Georgie strolling along when Georgie has a Marilyn Monroe type moment. This fi
lm was restored by the Library of Congress and was copied at 16fps from 35mm. Director: Edwin S. Porter Production Company: Edwin S. Porter Audio/Visual: silent, black

RIBE THE TAVERN. An "open source improvised sound recording project" is a good place to start, but it doesn't really say it all. Every Wednesday night persons assembled @ 2 Bond in glorious downtown St. Catharines. Everyone who came out was welcome to come up on stage and make some noise. There was
always a wide variety of instruments to choose from and people were encouraged to play instruments they'd never played before, chant, tell jokes and make up songs off the 'top of their heads.' These sessions were recorded and digitally archived for posterity and beyond . . . Persons who've passed th
ru have described the experience as: conceptual art, a noise band, a jam band, an initiation, group therapy, vibrational medicine, stream of consciousness sound poetry, a bunch of guys just hanging out and 'going off,' fifth-dimensional physical/psychological healing technology, primal scream therap
y, a modern day 'Rites of Eleusis,' philanthropic anarchism, pure genius and utter crap. Words cannot describe the Tavern. No matter how much I say or how many of the recordings you listen to, you will still only be experiencing a very small part of what BMT was/is in truth. Nevertheless, I do hope
that you take the time to look at the photos and listen to the recordings (the links are under music interests). It is a journey well worth taking and I guarantee that you will find the experience 'embiggening.' Enjoy! WHAT'S IN A NAME? Billy Mason + Sonic Tavern = Billy's Masonic Tavern not assoc

In 1906, Reginald Fessenden used a synchronous rotary-spark transmitter for the FIRST-EVER radio program broadcast.
If the FIRST-EVER "radio" broadcast was in 1906, how could anyone have been "SOLD" a "RADIO" before then, MORON?
And if you haven't "HEARD" that the FIRST-EVER flight of a "POWERED AND CONTROLLED FLYING MACHINE" (otherwise known as an "AIRPLANE" and NOT a "GLIDER") was on December 17, 1903, you're even dumber than you sound.
