Antique Audio Recording of 'You Know Who' At SMITHSONIAN

by TimWilson cc

This was very interesting....today, I learned something new when I found this post about ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL at TECHLAND.TIME....NO, It's NOT about the telephone, after all, we ALL know that Bell invented the telephone, boring...guess again..O.K?...O.K., O.K. give up? Well, Alexander Graham Bell took THOMAS EDISON's first recording device, with played recordings that used tinfoil covered cardboard cylinders to record the sound...and used wax-covered cardboard or discs...and, made it even better and stronger than Edison's....BUT, even more exciting to the guys at THE SMITHSONIAN , who discovered one of these first recordings with yes,.. Bell's voice on it, dated 1885. It had his initials on it too. WAS...Ready?.. They tested this stuff with some very scientific equipment and verified it was Bell's voice alright, he was saying "Hear My Voice--Alexander Graham Bell"...O.K., now we all know that Bell, as well as Edison were both very important in what is used today to record all the music we enjoy everyday. Thank you. Jan
