a poetry of beeps and words...
recently, i managed to score two volumes of 78's called basic radio code kit: pre-induction training records. unfortunately the manual and disc 1 are missing, so no idea what one is supposed to do with these, but i put on disc 2 side 1, and discovered, much to my happiness, a series of random shouted words and beeps... not as lively as schwitters ursonata, but pretty odd spoken poetry nonetheless...

Possibly the narrative is that Uncle George is a lycanthrope, and other family members are attempting to control him by returning him to his box.
Thanks for the visit, the man with the umbrella is Bernnanke
ha, don't imagine for a moment that i won't be cutting and pasting that basic radio notation for inclusion in some kind of 'stolen' book.
very best steve

steve
hehe it's morse code along with some strange version of the phonetic alphabet!
Nice way to improve your listening skills, "pre induction", IE, before you go live on the air!
I discoverd two complete books of albums that my uncle had while in WW2
