Did anyone else catch the program about him on PBS this week? Besides
the obvious interest to guitarists and other music lovers, the audio
content was highly interesting as well, as he basically invented "sound
on sound" recording and was innovative on other recording issues.
I have an old Radio-Electronics magazine with him on the cover which
talks about his and Mary Ford's home workshop/studio and some of the
things he was working on at that time. It's interesting.
He invented the eight-track recorder. He's also credited wih inventing
the solid-body guitar in the 1940s with "The Log."
Finding a genius "highly interesting" shouldn't surprise you...:-)
That's just me being my usual understated self ;-)
