Join DJ, magician, and vintage music expert David Watkins for a fascinating journey through the science behind the sound. Explore how early 20th-century inventors and musicians blended art and engineering to create the music players and music that rocked the world. You'll hear some of the earliest music played through vintage equipment from the Door County Museum’s collection as well as classic recordings from legends like Louis Armstrong and Elvis Presley from David’s collection of vintage shellac 78 RPM disks! Learn how sound is captured, recorded, and brought back to life, one disc at a time. Come for the science, stay for the tunes!
