The
2008 Phonograph Birthday
131st
Birthday
2008 Birthday Party
The
Phonograph's 131st Birthday celebration was held on a sunny
December 6th Saturday afternoon that was noteworthy for two
reasons: it wasn't snowing and it was the actual day of the
Phonograph's birthday.
Since
the birthday party is normally held on the Saturday closest
to the 6th this celebration on the actual day only happens every
6 or 8 years. Also, four"guests" were under the age
of 18 months so that made it an extra special and entertaining
event.
Doug
and Sharon were KUNC NPR Day Sponsors in 2008 reminding listeners
of the birthday of the first recording of sound by Leon Scott
de Martinville. In other years their Day Sponsorship was normally
for the birthday of Edison's Phonograph:
2008
- Day sponsors are Doug and Sharon Boilesen, and
Friends of the Phonograph, who would like to remind you that
today, April 9 is the 148th birthday of the first recording
of sound made by the Frenchman Leon Scott de Martinville.
