“On This Day in the History of Recorded Sound…”

October 14, 1865: Born: Walter B. Rogers, cornet recording artist and later music director for Victor and Brunswick.

October 14, 1907: Peter Weber filed for a U.S. Design Patent (eventually granted as No.1,058,284) on “Phonograph.” This would become (in slightly refined form) the Edison Cygnet horn.

October 14, 1977: Died: Bing Crosby, legendary crooner whose record sales are estimated at 400 million copies.
