This is a pretty cool story: Earliest sound recording found from 1860 in France! Predates Edison's "Mary Had a Little Lamb" recording by nearly 2
decades.
Researchers Play Tune Recorded Before Edison If you want to hear the recording, go here: Scott-Au-Clair-de-la-Lune |

wow that's amazing! Thanks so much for sharing!!
 I love anything like this, it fascinates me how in less than 150 years, we have gone from not being
able to record sound to being able to play mp3s on our phones and on really very tiny devices - it's incredible really.

Yup,
I was there when it happened! "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out
how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the
arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without
error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the
triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and
timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt..."Citizenship in a Republic,"

We wouldn't let him in.
He looked like a Teenager so we thought he was underage. "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out

lol, too funny.
I believe the earliest way they counted how much music was sold which was 1890s or somewhat later was by music sheet sales. LOL, glad someone was there then,
