O/T musing

Post by Roaring20s »

The stars aligned the cosmos revealed a series of connections, acoustic to hi-fi.

Saturday I bought a few 78's at a local thrift shop and came home with a bit of psychedelia too.
It dates about 1973. The cover to a booklet that was issued to educate sales persons within the Audio Industry.
In researching it I discovered that the artist, Jacqui Morgan, was firmly embedded with her
contemporaries in the pop art scene and remains successful in the art world today.

The SAC's Audio Primer featured this humous image on its cover.
Used with permission by the artist.

I especially like the stylized Edison phonograph with its horn's opening doubling as a disc record.
Oh yes, and that babe. ;)

While reviewing her website, http://www.jacquimorgan.com , the historical section has
an image entitled Electric Circus. That was a happening club in Manhattan's East Village.
I Googled the club and found a series of Village Voice ads from 1967 which included that poster,
and another ad with this guy...

Timothy Leary was busy turning the world on too.

Later when spoke with my wife about this, she told me that she had been to the Electric Circus!

Synchronicity feels so good! 8-)

Here is an article from Billboard about this Hi-Fi educational workshops and it mentions this booklet too.

Great image, and very well found.

There is even a veteran car parked outside to cater for outdoor pleasures as well.

What more could any man want........ ;)

Or a woman...

This is from the chorus of The Girl on the Automobile, Published 1905,
words by Sam Lewis, music by Joe Nathan

The girl on the Auto, the Automobile,
Has all of the Johnnies glad
As she passes them by, they'll wink their eye,
And a glance at each one she will steal;
You can bet she ain't timid, why she is the limit,
The girl on the Automobile!
