There was a point in the 90s or early 2000s when my parents played a Peruvian pan-flute CD 24/7 for like 2 weeks and we never heard it again after that.

Every year at the Indiana State Fair on the east side of the Home and Family Arts building.

Yess. I definitely remember Peruvian musical acts being a thing at shopping malls in the early 00's, lol.

Right around 97 or 98, my dad got way into Andrea boccelli for like a whole year. He was like 36.

Were they stoned or tripping on LSD or shrooms? My boomer uncle loved the Whale song CD and Laurie Anderson but he was not into drugs.

My NES was a finicky little slut. Most of the time I had to do the under the shirt, light blow into the cartridge. Then had to slide it into the NES, bounce it down a few times then press the power and reset buttons also a few times and voila! The game might start lol.

There was a definite technique to blowing in the cartridges. Some kids would do it way too wet and then it was screwed for a long time.

They say only the ancients know the true way.

Nintendo Power and other magazines used to tell us that blowing in the games didn't work and actually did more harm than good. Millions of Nintendo games say otherwise!

I want some actual science. My kids wanted to watch me 100% ocarina of time, and if I didn't blow into that cartridge, it would not start.

What about blowing into the cartridge made it work? was it the moisture creating stronger conductivity? Was I blowing out the dirt allowing for better contact? Would a compressed air canister worked as well? I need to know!
