Weird thing is that three people sent me this link today, so it's nice to see that it is getting a good amount of exposure.
Hope everyone enjoys it.

Horsehockey. Aren't we ever going to get the history of this instrument right??? 
Don't get me wrong, it's great to get some publicity. But I can't see why it's so difficult for "professional" writers to do a little research before they go making statements about the history of an instrument.
No! Gibson did not "invent" the pedal steel guitar in the middle of the 20th century. (And Henry Ford did not invent the automobile.) |

Point well taken, but they haven't got it right yet. Everyone knows it was the Multi-Kord!

Despite its historical inaccuracies this is a great article.
Hats off to Ms. Alcon and Ms. Leigh! EO

Oh, and? Thomas Edison? Yeah, some guy in England was first with the electric light bulb. Joseph Swan! Hah!
