FUNKY TREES FOR A COOL YULE
Moving backwards in time - it seems we're not so much deconstructing a christmas
tree tradition as discovering parallel paths. Some accounts attribute lighting
a tree for Christmas to protestant reformer Martin Luther in Germany in the
16th century, after he noticed how the stars illuminated the fir trees at night.
Concurrent with that legend, it had also been a custom of the period to decorate
a "paradise tree" with various fruit and possibly even "Adam
& Eve" on it - while sitting next to the Paradise Tree might have been
a Christmas pyramid. As you might imagine, bringing trees or other plants indoors
to celebrate various events have occurred in different cultures throughout history.
It is up to each of us to find our own meanings and rejuvenate the look and
feel of our traditions ...
Meanwhile ... in the year 2000 (the year of this writing) an estimated 36 million
trees will have been sold in the US. A record amount of 37.2 were sold in 1995.
The principal states ranked by amount are Oregon, North Carolina, Pennsylvania
and Michigan.
Interesting side notes:
In researching the use of the name Gadgetree, I discovered that a band named
Gadgets released an LP title Gadgetree in 1980 ... apparently they released
records through 1989. I didn't found out much else about them. They seem to
be listed as a UK techno new-wave band...
About recording wire:
Prior to finding this spool, I had never heard of wire recorders. Apparently
they were developing at the same time as tape recorders. Danish Inventor Valdemar
Poulsen at the start of the 20th century patented the "Telegraphone," a steel
wire recorder for use as probably the first telephone recording machine. Until
the early 1950s, its future seemed promising, but in 1954, tape recorders sales
jumped, and they soon became obsolete.
