Did one of you typospherians refer me to this video of The History of the Typewriter Recited by Michael Winslow? Because if you didn't, you should have. I had to rely on a local writer's-group pal, and that's a shame.
I'm not 100% sure he got all of the varied typewriter sounds precisely right (the Remington Noiseless is suspicious, to my ears), but just the fact that Michael "Larvell Jones" Winslow can make so many varied typewriter sounds is awesome enough.
EDIT: I see now that, in addition to the PTF post mentioned by Deek, that this video was mentioned in the December 2011 issue of ETC (which I just got to read last evening). So, well done, Typosphere. Sorry I missed it.
I think it's rare that anyone of note would waste as much breath on typewriters, so I'm gonna let it slide.
ReplyDeleteIt was brought up, a year or so ago...at least to my attention. I'm not sure if I saw that on a typosherian's blog or whether it was posted on PTF Yahoo! Group...
ReplyDeleteI posted it here. Though I doubt I was the first and I can't remember where I found it. Worth sharing on a regular basis though!
ReplyDeleteRob - this is what happens due to my limited online time. I end up missing things like that!
ReplyDeleteSorry I missed it. It was certainly entertaining to me.
