[78-L] Hello from Brussels

[Patrick Humbert]

Hi Gerald, 

 

I remember your wonderful programs about Edison Records on the web. 

 

Unfortunately, I'm living in Belgium, Brussels and would be unavailable for that event.... 

 

Edison records are part of my favourites !!! I like especially BA Rolfe Orchestra !! 

 

Regards, 



Patrick   Humbert

> 
> Upcoming program:
> 
> On Saturday, February 4, 2012 at 12:00 noon, Thomas Edison National
> Historical Park welcomes audio historian Patrick Feaster, for his
> presentation: "Theo Wangemann: The Man Who Made the Phonograph Musical".
> 
> Patrick Feaster’s 60-minute illustrated talk will explore the life and
> career of Theo Wangemann (1855-1906), who was arguably the world’s first
> professional recording engineer. Entrusted by Thomas Edison with the task
> of applying the newly developed wax cylinder phonograph to music, Wangemann
> oversaw the first regular production of pre-recorded cylinders at the
> Edison Laboratory in West Orange, New Jersey in 1888-1889, ushering in the
> beginnings of the American musical recording industry. Then, in 1889-90,
> he played a prominent role in introducing Edison’s invention to continental
> Europe, generating publicity through the recording of prominent statesmen
> and musicians—many of whom we can now hear for the first time, thanks to a
> box of his cylinders preserved at Thomas Edison National Historical Park.
> 
> ** Reservations are required. Seating is limited. **
