Today, in Musical History, December 6th, 1877: Thomas Edison's "phonograph" records him reciting "Mary Had A Little Lamb".
Long believed to be the first sound recording (and heavily pimped as such by Edison), that was overturned in 2008 when an 1860 recording of "Clair de Lune" was discovered in the archives of the French Academy of Sciences.
Fortunately, Edison had passed on well before that, so we were spared the spectacle of the thoroughly-dishonest, credit-stealing, glory-hounding bastard making a huge public scene about it, whining and trying to re-write the facts to suit himself.
