‘O Holy Night’ also happens to be the very first piece of music ever heard over broadcast radio, on the night of Christmas Eve, December 24th, 1906. Professor Reginald Fessenden, a Canadian inventor living in Brant Rock, Massachusetts, made the first broadcast of voice and music over radio on that night. He played ‘O Holy Night’ on his violin.
Interesting. Thanks.
Merry Christmas
Thank you for that lesson, which, of course led me to look up Fessenden. Fascinating man.
I love all of the learning opportunities I get courtesy of so many smart FReepers.
