[78-L] fwd: Phonographic Record Industry - Inquiry

[Howard Friedman]

Hi, this is the sort of nonsense that ends up being perpetuated as gospel in 
the history of discography.  How ANYONE could think that Emile Berliner was 
born in Alsace-Lorraine, or that he would ever even THINK of preferring 
French as a language is absolute nonsense.  I certainly wish that there was 
some way to clean up all of the internet websites that perpetuate these 
fantastic tales, and they are almost innumerable!  I think that may be why 
Wikipedia permits almost anyone to edit their entries.  A good thing too, 
because perhaps a few of us who are more knowledgable than the rest MIGHT be 
able to straighten a few things out, and separate some of the facts from 
much of the fiction!!!!!
