An infographic detailing the history of guitar effects, starting all the way back to the 1930s with Rickenbacker’s Vibrola Spanish Guitar and progressing to the present day. Along the way, we’ll see iconic guitar-effect breakthroughs like gain and reverb in the 1940s to 1950s’ effects like fuzz (discovered by accidentally dropping a Fender Bass amp on a rainy street!) and distortion (the fortuitous discovery when Link Wray stabbed a hole in his amp’s speaker). The guitar effects hit their stride in the 1960s with the first transistor-powered guitar pedals, including the first wah-wah pedals and the first octave effect pedal among glorious others. The explosion of effects pedals in the 1970s reverberates today: signal alterations, distortion, modulation, time-based effects, and filter effects. A timeline of all these effects along with the iconic musicians who used what—Bo Diddley’s Trem Trol 800 Tremolo, Jimi Hendrix’s Leslie rotating speaker, the Rolling Stones’ Maestro Fuzz Tone, etc.

The Octave of Easter, known as Low Sunday, Quasimodo Sunday, has also come to be known in more recent times as "Divine Mercy Sunday." It was through St. John Paul II that the Octave of Easter received this new title in the Church's calendar. Drawing inspiration from the diary of Sister Faustina, the Octave of Easter has received a renewed emphasis on the mercy of God.
In a beautiful homily delivered on this day by St. Augustine of Hippo, he declared to the newly baptized, "You have been buried with Christ by baptism into death in order that, as Christ has risen from the dead, you also may walk in newness of life." For it was traditionally on this day that the Church received her newly baptized catechumens with maternal delight. Holy Mother Church rejoiced over her new children, all of which is made possible by the mercy of God in calling us to Himself while we were yet sinners.
St. Faustina recorded these words from our Lord Himself: "I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy." May we turn with trust to the Divine Mercy of Almighty God and seek Him in all things.
In 1924, two Belgian industrialists, Armand Desaegher (a casting specialist) and Octave Aubecq (an enameling specialist), met at the Brussels Fair. They decided to create a foundry which would enamel various cookware items. In 1925, Le Creuset was born and setup business in Fresnoy le Grand in Northern France, approximately 120 miles northeast of Paris, set among rolling hills and arable landscapes. This move was a strategic one for the company, putting it at the crossroads of transportation routes for the raw materials of coke, iron, and sand. The same year, the first Cocotte (French Oven) was produced. This shape and indeed the name was the pivot of what is now an extensive range of cookware.

Instruments of Art: 'Revolution Past'
Octave Mandolin/Mandola.
Electro-acoustic with volume control. The neck was a piece of driftwood. The bridge is an Ikea pencil & the nut is a bit of a chopstick. Meshed with sinkhole strainers
I hammered in the fretwire pretty much 'free-style' copying the fret positions from an Octave Mando - then had to do a bit of filing to adjust once strung. Fitted with an old silk tie for a strap.
I've strung it GDAD. .... And it even sounds OK ! (Especially plugged in).
The original paint job on the plywood base of the wooden box (which presents as the soundboard) is such that it reminds me of colour & style of a 1950's revolutionary campaign. Hence the title 'Revolution Past' to prompt thought about the previous life and meaning of the image.

St Mary’s Church in Bishopstone, Wiltshire, a picturesque village about 7 miles East of Swindon, and all but on the border of Wiltshire/Oxfordshire. This was taken during the Great British Summer that was the end of March!!
This view is of the new bell-ringer's gallery. There was originally a gallery at this level until 1891, when on Good Friday of 1891, a disastrous fire destroyed the original gallery and ring of 8. By the end of 1891, a new ring was in place, but they were rung upstairs at the top of the tower, with a very short draught, making them excruciatingly loud!! However, a project is in the final stages of restoring a ringing gallery at its original level, and this is pretty much the finished result. When the gallery was being installed, carvings was found on the walls, inscribed by the pre-1891 ringers!! A historical project, which will hopefully encourage ringing, as the ringers are able to be viewed from the church.
The Tenor bell (19-2-19 in E) is at the back left (with the sally just dipping out of view!!) and the treble immediately to the right (with the change in sally colours!!) The 4 (front right) and 5 (front left) are also marked with changes in sally colours!! The West window is behind me, I am looking Eastwards into the church exterior. These bells are sometimes described as "Mears' Perfect Octave."
A video of the bells being rung may be found here:
