Notes From Today's Lecture



MLK

    MLK used a variety of different components in order to really persuade his audience with his "I Have  A Dream" speech. The Ethos Pathos & Logos of this all was well thought out by "The King" and it really made a difference. 
     Ethos: Martin was well dressed, properly groomed - and stood tall and proud. A person attending to detail in himself will have better detail in his talk. He is a powerful a respected man and sure looks like it.
    Pathos: Martin had a real passionate message and tone. His choice of words showed that he really cared, and the way he presented this through his tone of voice was beautifully displayed. His words were empowering, he was empathetic and spoke with much commission for his audience.
    Logos: Logos - meaning logic; Martin REALLY knew what he was talking about. Civil Rights was what he lived for, he was certainly a pro in his own game. His speech was so beautifully composed like a song.

a year of progress, a year in review...   This year I have expanded my growth tremendously. I have been able to more fully grasp what it is to put out music, to make music, and to really invest in music. Before this year, $20 was the most I'd spend on a record - maybe $50 if I'm wild. Then a great friend told me ... "IF you want the GOOD stuff; you're gonna have to pay." I began to manage money so I could invest in big money records - and that's where the fun came in!    I've also more fully grasped the game of being an audiophile. I keep learning and improving my recording techniques, my remastering skills and becoming more wise as to what cartridge will make my records sound the BEST. I've had the privilege to even remaster a record that was previously unreleased for a client interested in my work!   I have also been able to fulfill my dream of joining a band. A band that plays the kind of music I like! This has led to my next majo

This Is My Story b/w More Peanuts (La Vienteunica) The Valentines - San Antonio, TX 1965/66 King Bee K-103     For about 3-4 years, "This Is My Story" by The Valentines was at the TOP of my want list. I searched high and low and just a week and a half ago I was able to get my very own copy of this EXTREMELY RARE record! Why the caps??? Because, the rarity of this is RIDICULOUS. Why is it so rare? Well first, let's learn a bit about this record.      FIRST OF ALL!!!! This is NOT Richard Barrett's group from NYC who were signed to Rama records.     Released around the year 1965/66, this record is virtually unknown to most people. Like myself when I first heard the song, many people don't even know it exists as a vinyl record! From the get-go, I thought to myself: "It must be an unreleased acetate!" The way the recording of the song sounded was much like that of a deteriorating acetate record. An acetate is a pre-production record mean
