    		Just more support for my statements that Edison was a fraud! Great marketing strategist, patent wizard but NOT an inventor!!!

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. audio historians have discovered and played back a French inventor's historic 1860 recording of a folk song -- the oldest-known audio recording -- made 17 years before Thomas Edison invented the phonograph.

    A horrible recording by todays standards, but unmistakably the voice of a human being!
