Brothers and sisters,
I was listening to the radio a few moments ago and I heard a certain something that touched my ears in way they’ve never been touched before. I heard a voice from times of old; a young voice singing unto me. She was singing a song I have never heard before (Au clair de la lune, Pierrot répondit).
What I heard was recorded on April 9, 1860 by a one Édouard-Léon Scott. Which if you noticed, was 17 years before Thomas Edison invented the phonograph.
Thanks to the fine people at firstsounds.org I was able to download this recording, and now I shall share it with you.

Now, four days from now will mark the 148th anniversary of this this wonderful recording. I feel a strong burning in my bosom that I will prophesy on that great day. For only Willard knows what is to come of it.
So stay tuned…and may Willard be with you on this day!
