    Glad I found your blog Stephanie! I am an artist and I've been wondering how to create art that glorifies God. Usually my art is so cutesy (but it sells haha).

The Evolution of Recorded Music

Let's Take a Look at the Evolution of Recorded Music! Before electricity was invented and used, all music created by composers had to be written down on paper using a quill and ink. They had to document every single note that was to be played (on instruments like piano, violin, harp, etc.) with great detail about the time signature, the speed and tone in which it needed to be played! Often times there was only one or two copies of sheet music, so it's a wonder how all those amazing composition from Mozart and Vivaldi and the like all made it to us today! Good record keeping I guess! 1877: Phonograph on wax cylinders 1890's: Gramophone on large discs 1920's: AM/FM radio frequency 1930's: Magneto phone electronic recording (magnetic tape recording) 1948: Vinyl records created 1960's: 4-track and 8-track cartridge tapes created, while vinyl was heavily purchased until the 1980's 1970's: Cassettes/Walkman created, used until the 1990's 1980's:

Stephanie Camello Compiles the Origins of U.S. State Names

Alabama - Native American Choctaw name meaning “vegetation gatherer.” Alaska - Aleut language translates “Alaska” to “the object toward which the action of the sea is directed.” Arizona - Spanish word “Arizonac” which has origins from the Native American O’odham tribe’s word meaning “small spring.” Arkansas - The French pronunciation of the Quapawa Indians word for which the Algonquin tribe referred to as “akansa.” The French pronunciation was “Arcansas.” The reason we don’t say the “S” is because on an 1881 act passed by the state to solve a dispute between two senators who disputed over the pronunciation. We now pronounce it the French way with the silent “S.” California - The name of an island in a Spanish 16th Century novel for which the Spanish explorers named the land they thought was an island.
