Thank you. For staying. Thank you. Hi I'm Paul spring. Welcome to the end of summer edition of The New Jersey local man a half century. And if you've ever wondered what life is like for a flying traffic reporter flying with one of them and also a lot of South Jersey man explain why the bicycles he makes as much as $2000 each. We're here at Bell Laboratories in Maryhill one of the world's largest industrial research centers and

also home for Dr. Benjamin Madison a research mathematician here with a half dozen patents to his credit. But outside the scientific community Dr. Logan happens to be one of bluegrass music's finest. Everybody was absent. Now I am now. I am now. I. I. I. I. Used to be more surprised to. Find a person with a doctorate degree and I

played the field. I guess it used to be. You couldn't do your play the fiddle and steel. But I think those days are. Now. I. Part of my life my dad was a fairly settler in West Texas and. Heard fiddling around the house. We have music. Playing. And I began a very early age to. Try to play the fiddle with various piano. Trumpet. And even took lessons but I couldn't teach you how to play fiddle like Monday and play. It's something that has to come to you so it did one time I guess I was in

high school to shut myself in the sand I was fatal and began to fail and I carried with me through college. Texas Tech and then went to MIT. And I quit a Mountie and women became professional I went to MIT to study electrical engineering and get my master's degree and I took some time out there I had to play the field you know and you really get a feel you get to play the fiddle. And. When I had to get more education in electrical engineering when I came to Bell Labs work around doctorate degree at Columbia University and. Managed to keep fiddlin going along as a kind of a recreation if you could have a local place you could play regularly and work days that that's really great but when you have to travel you know 200 miles or more to play and go to work next day that's so that strikes me that I think you research ties your mind up so completely that you have

to once in awhile break free from it. But man I was born and raised in Texas I like to. I wish I could live there and do the kind of work I do. But when you get a lot of education and you're in it you're not fit to work in many places. There's nothing really. Around my home Tanel around Big Spring Texas that could do. You don't have the opportunity to do the kind of research that do. I do. My half research ideas of general area and. More specifically I guess theory and work on communication problems that have a good math problem in them and sometimes we get

applied good results there that apply to transmission of signals that you. Form that signal. Divide by a factor contained in that same. This is still the entire function of a slice of pie. This is not necessary for now. Let's take 1 0 out it could be OUR to be of the same X thinks that they have the added frequency it used to have a 0 at c and I think I want to say and you can move it around without changing the spectral forward. That. Free 0 is free to be taken as completely or whatever. So that's an important concept in this problem. It seems that musicians and patients go pretty well ma'am and

Hannah a lot of emphasis is like that. I don't know the reason for that. I don't know maybe a mathematical mind appreciate music more than another. But that's hard to believe I don't know why it is but you can't have a lot of fun you know trying to put mathematics on music and try to figure out something. Relations in music for mathematics for the kind of music I play I don't think is subject to the strict analysis it. Is just for the playing music. We're going to write. I

see thanks. I thank ye thank ye ye ye. Thank the little bastard to redeem a New Jersey. This basic. Form of music. Thank you so fundamentally it's like various other forms of life and three picks for you. And. That's no problem. Communicate with people we could hear it for you.

It doesn't have to be New Jersey complete. Thank you. My I I I I I well I like to be and I prove where you get a lot of interplay there. Everybody gets. Him to take their memories. This interplay between musicians. And the. Mutual feeling in the release of feelings from back and forth is one of it's performing with other people that. Share and contribute. It's just another form of communication or Amharic or serious or nice feeling about communicate that people might enjoy last.

My I. My my my. Far. Better. Bar the Beach Haven with you.
