The song of the wires is steady but it is not monotonous. There are over-tones of lyrical runs, long sustained notes in alto and contralto key, deeper intermittent over-tones of resonant bass. Occasionally one gets a faint hint of a clean, haunting pure tenor. There are times when the tempo mounts in crescendo fortissimo; one almost expects the crash of the percussion instruments and the stirring lifting power of the brasses. Then, again, the wires sing softly of day’s loveliness, humming a theme of unexplored possibilities, sustaining the music to accompany the rollicking optimism of robins. There are men and women in city offices who will look out of their windows these hope-stirring days and think of country roads far away where the telephone wires run from weathered pole to pole, above the lichened stone walls or split rail fences. Years ago they listened to the singing wires. Boys and girls coming home from schoolhouses with lunch boxes in hand still stop to listen. In the song of wires... youth has heard the call to paths of adventure. And now the rest of the story. Quite a piece of romance that the Times reporter wrote isn’t it? I was a country boy in 1945 walking one mile each way to one room Wilton school in rural Dubuque, Iowa. I must say that I don’t remember the “tempo mounting in crescendo fortissimo” or the “lifting power of the brasses.” What I really remember is that when the wires sang the loudest, it was cold as 7734. In one place along the road the snow would drift almost up to the wires. It would form a crust and a nine year old boy could almost touch the “singing wires.” I never did though as my teacher had instructed us that we would surely be electrocuted if we touched one of those 12 or so wires. How’s that for romance! I always had my doubts about this though as I had several times heard young men talking about a favorite Halloween prank of the time. They would sneak into a farmer’s milk house and steal away with a couple of his milk cans. Then they would somehow get the cans tied to a telephone wire and launch them out over a gully where the farmer would have a hard time retrieving them. All of this effort and I never heard of anyone being electrocuted. There really was a romance or fascination with these “singing wires” though that I’ll never forget. This same fascination has been shared by people, I suppose, since the first telegraph line was erected in the 19th century. There was a turn of the century painting of a plains Indian entitled “Singing Wires.” Then came this “romantic” article from the “Times” in post war 1945 followed in 1972 by Tony Cashman’s “Singing Wires,” “The Telephone in Alberta.” Now in 1989 “Singing Wires” is born again as the name for your TCI newsletter. Paul McFadden ********************************************** It was a hot stormy June day, the Springfield, Illinois The Ultimate Chase: “The Show!” telephone collector slipped away to June, 2001 his secluded hideout to pack his Sell It, Trade It, or Don’t Come Back!! treasures for the upcoming show. by Al Ilekis He chuckled to himself after looking over what had taken nearly a year to assemble. He remembered how early he had risen so many cold mornings to be the first one at the flea market and how he stalked down the endless aisles in hot anticipation with those keenly trained eyes picking single telephone parts from amongst the thousands of disarrayed pieces strewn on the ground and tables. Now gathered and lying before him, the years bounty of telephones, parts and fond memories evoked but a single burning response — “sell it, trade it, but just don’t bring it back.” And so with that single thought in mind the collector packs for that ultimate chase “The Show.” Having attended a previous show one can hardly believe how much more civilized and less costly it would have been to just have waited and bought it at the show.
