Upon leading into the 'History of the Vinyl Records", two great men come to mind: Michael Faraday the Physicists. Thomas Alva Edison the inventor and Scientist both of the early nineteen century must first be acknowledged for their work. Michael Faraday born an Englishman and Thomas Alva Edison born an American. In my mind, and regardless what anyone might say. This is my personal view of these great men, and from the many books that I have read I have no reason to think otherwise. To my understanding and the knowledge I have gained, in my view both Faraday and Edison are the pioneers that set the pace for the world, as we know it today. There are others such as Emile Berliner and Lee De Forest who is included in this feature of the "History of the Vinyl Record." I look upon Michael Faraday and Thomas Alva Edison as geniuses and heroes of their time and role models for other inventors and of course, including people like me. Although they both suffered the same type of impediment in their hearing, neither of them regarded the impediment as an obstacle that would curtail the determination and their visionary quest. Their discoveries and inventions in seeking to make our world a better and more enjoyable place for generations then and now. |
