While Daydreaming About Timepiece Inventors One O Clock

Who knows whence the measurement of time came about, though this chap proposes the following general happen stance. Perhaps psalm body named Judas Priest arranged to congregate, but cohorts restless (sans Quiet Riot), did Accept a Mercyful Fate asper their Iron Maiden pact, but needed to reassure doubting Tom us (a petty detail), how to coordinate self anointed Black Sabbath. An Idol Billy Graham proposed a resolution (this coincidentally enough would be calculated, figured, and interpolated vis a vis to happen on New Years Eve circa unknown when. Some metal-heads put their Smashface together, and contrived a crude modus operandi, which in vol vid each musician to crank up and amplify to the max his instrument of choice. No matter distance extant between closest and farthest member, would be barely faintly heard. The era re: these bit players didst dabble with primitive chronometers comprised hamlets a mere shouting distance apart. Once a quasi reliant (and affordable) methodology evolved, one singer songwriter upped the (space/time quantum theory) ante by conniving, fostering (the village people), inviting live onstage performances. Quite a bit of fancy free footloose gimcrackery reckoned to be sale-able to sell at audiences, thus drawing a Crowded House. None the less, there remained the confounding, irksome, pesky quandary sans figuring precision concerning how to segment morning to night cycle. Perhaps the town nerd might own the (get) smarts to tinker satisfactorily until...PRESTO! The purported impossible mission solved with refinement propelling one geek after the other into the klieg lights if only for a blink of an eye!
