I thought some of you might enjoy a little change of pace this summer. :whoa:

The Wired magazine online portal has a nice article demonstrating how a crude microphone can be constructed from a face mask. The article also provides some details about how microphones work.

When I was a kid, I was needing a pickup for an acoustic guitar.
All I had at hand was an old pair of headphones.
I put a 1/4" jack on one end of the cord and plugged it into my amp.
I clamped the headphones around the guitar and it really worked good!
Necessity is the mother of invention! :whoa:

With the current state of country music and the lingering covid virus, it might be more efficient to convert microphones to face mask. :lol:

Interesting article Jim Fogle. Hope you are doing well my friend.

Doing pretty good Rick. Treatment # 5 of 6 starts tomorrow. It's good to see the light in the tunnel is getting brighter.
