As early as 1600, the King of Denmark had a early home music system installed in his castle. A 3-pipe system, moved the sound of musicians playing in the basement and into his “winter room”. The system was a forerunner of the “piped music” we hear today in public spaces like shopping malls, and the large sound systems in our private cars and homes.

Spike Spiegel: There once was a tiger-striped cat. This cat died a million deaths, revived & lived a million lives, and he was owned by various people who he really didn’t care for.

Well, years passed & the...
