The phonograph was posted on the market in 1896.  An Italian inventor named, Guglielmo Marconi, first developed the idea of a radio, or wireless telegraph, in the 1890s. His ideas took shape in 1895 when he sent a wireless Morse Code message to a source more than a kilometer away.  The  cassette tape players were invented and released by Phillips in 1963.

  My favorite type of genre of music is Gospel and Pop.  My favorite artist is Lauren Daigle, I love her music, the first time I listened to one of her songs was when I was going through a rough time. I connected with the lyrics and melodies instantly.  The song that I come back to all the time is "Hold On To Me"   Hold On To Me  this song was released in February 25, 2021.  The melody in Lauren's song "Hold On To Me" is desperate but also hopeful all into one.
