SPRING
Spring, also known as springtime, is one of the four temperate seasons, succeeding winter and preceding summer. There are various technical definitions of spring, but local usage of the term varies according to local climate, cultures and customs. When it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere, it is autumn in the Southern Hemisphere and vice versa. At the spring (or vernal) equinox, days and nights are approximately twelve hours long, with daytime length increasing and night-time length decreasing as the season progresses.
In the
Northern Hemisphere (e.g., Germany, the United States, Canada, and the UK), the
astronomical vernal equinox (varying between 19 and 21 March) can be taken to
mark the first day of spring with the summer solstice (around 21 June) marked
as first day of summer.Spring and
"springtime" refer to the season, and also to ideas of rebirth,
rejuvenation, renewal, resurrection and regrowth.
Springtime in the Netherlands usually means flowers, bike rides, lounging on the beach or having a drink on a terrace.
We also celebrate our King’s birthday every year on April 27.

MUSIC PARTY at T.R.A.C.S
These days recorded music is everywhere. Streaming over our phones, our computers, our MP3 players, Pandora, Soundcloud, YouTube, satellite radio – it seems to be coming out of the very air we breathe. There are even “retro” forms in revival, like vinyl and cassettes.
It’s hard to imagine the days when, if you wanted to hear music, you had to make it yourself or know somebody else who did. From then there were several steps – and some interesting detours – to the recording and distribution technology we have today.
Back in
1877 (patents in 1878), Thomas Edison used two needles on tinfoil
cylinders. One needle was for recording and the other for playback. This was
the creation of the phonograph. The first words he recorded were “Mary had a
little lamb”.
T.R.A.C.S parties always has a Trivia, a Money Giver, and a lot of fun.

We Can Recording MUSIC
Musician John Miles died after a short illness on 5 December 2021 at the age of 72,
Miles was best known for his 1976 rock ballad ‘Music’.
THE PHONOGRAPH
The photo shows Thomas Edison with his patented phonograph.The device could mechanically record and reproduce sound. In its later forms, the device was called gramophone. While other inventors had produced devices that could record sounds, Edison’s phonograph was the first to be able to reproduce the recorded sound.
The sound vibration waveforms are recorded as corresponding physical deviations of a spiral groove engraved, etched, incised, or impressed into the surface of a rotating cylinder or disc, called a “record”. To recreate the sound, the surface is similarly rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove and is therefore vibrated by it, very faintly reproducing the recorded sound. In early acoustic phonographs, the stylus vibrated a diaphragm which produced sound waves which were coupled to the open air through a flaring horn, or directly to the listener’s ears through stethoscope-type earphones.
