DayStrider: Tales from a Time Traveler
Oct 18th: Monarch Says Out ~ King Says In
October 18th is a special day in history for tech fans, music fans and history fans! Its also special for other reasons - including the reason you are here right now, so make time to explore the sounds and stories that occurred on this day in history:
- A major advancement in the history of the telephone,
- The birthday of the Father of Rock & Roll, and
- A “butterfly effect” story where the ripples of history floated over 200 years.
If it's a special day for you or for someone you care about, make time to learn a little more about it by listening to some fun, engaging stories. AND, if you need some great gift ideas, we have those too (and we’ve made it easy to find them with some Amazon links down below).
If you’d like to see the Chuck Berry and the Angus Young “duck walk” you can find a very short video here (these links worked in late 2023 - not sure how long they will remain available):
- Watch a YouTube video of the duck walk
Gift ideas for folks who celebrate October 18th for any reason:
- Did the chapter about “old time” telephones inspire you to consider a vintage telephone?
- There are many Chuck Berry CD’s available, as well as some interesting decor that would make your music listening room more credible.
- Want to learn more about either King? MLK or King Louis XIV books and other items are aplenty!
- October 18th is Chocolate Cupcake Day - if there’s no time to make any, you can have some delivered.
- It’s also No Beard Day. Perhaps some beard shaving or beard maintenance items would be an ideal option?
Full disclosure: If you use these gift idea links and make a purchase, I will make a small commission.
MY promise: Every penny will be reinvested into this podcast to help it grow and flourish . . . or perhaps even to help spawn new podcasts.
