(TV) Quiet around here...

[Maurice Rickard <maurice@mac.com>]

As it's been kind of quiet lately, I thought I'd point out that 
there's a very interesting series on NPR as part of Friday's Morning 
Edition concerning the history of recording technology.  It starts 
with wax cylinder, goes through 78s (interviews with guys who worked 
in a 78 plant--quite risky), the advent of tape (did you know that 
Bing Crosby was an essential figure here?  Oddly, Les Paul's 
invention of multitrack didn't seem to get a mention), on up to the 
LP.  Two more segments to go, and the others are archived on the 
site.  (RealAudio streaming.)
