Thomas Edison invented the phonograph in 1877. His winter estate in Ft. Myers is located next door to Henry Ford’s. Both homes are open to the public now.
They are situated on the Caloosahatchee River.
There were a number of inventors working on the phonograph, and some called it a gramophone. The Grammy award looks like the device above.
A Grammy was awarded to a collection of music recorded in the Great Auditorium using wax cylinders. Here is a link:
