Earlier this week I paid tribute to two scientists celebrating their birthday this week in 'The Music of Science'. Also born this week (11th February) was possibly the greatest inventor of all time. He's the reason why we can listen to music and why I can write a blog about music. That's because he invented the first music playback device - the phonograph.
I'm talking about Thomas Alva Edison who invented movies as well. That's because he invented the light bulb and the motion picture camera among a host of other things. In fact he's got 1093 US patents to his name.
