 | | Clarence Leonidas Fender (August 10, 1909 - March 21, 1991) was an American who founded Fender Electric Instrument Manufacturing Company, now known as Fender Musical Instruments Corporation, and later founded G&L Musical Products (G&L Guitars). | | | In contrast to most stringed instruments, the solid-body electric guitar does not rely as extensively on the acoustic properties of its construction to amplify the sound produced by the vibrating strings; as such, the electric guitar does not need to be naturally loud, and its body can be virtually any shape. | | | A guitar is a stringed musical instrument played with the fingers or a plectrum (guitar pick). |

| Â | THE RADIO ENTREPRENEURS |
| | The largest electrical manufacturers were General Electric (GE), a successor company to one founded by Edison; Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, which was founded by George Westinghouse, an inventor/entrepreneur; and Western Electric, which had been purchased by telephone inventor/entrepreneur Alexander Graham Bell in 1881. | | | One of the reasons his company fared relatively well is that he hired able men to manage it. | | | A music lover and amateur poet, he installed a transmitter at the Columbia Gramophone building in New York and began daily broadcasts of phonograph music sponsored by Columbia. |

| | Electric Joy Toy Company - One of the first songs done by Joy Electric, this is where the Joy Toy Kids got their name (If you don't know, you don't know...) | | | Robot Rock is great album, considered by some to be an "essential" album in the Joy Electric collection. | | | The Songbook Tells All - Features the favorite Joy Electric quote, "Heavy metal shirts aren't funny/ Come here boy I'll show you funny." The meaning of this line is debatable, but the general consensus is that the song is about "posers" who pretend they are cool because of what they wear/do/listen to. |

| | The introduction of the new Compact Silent Electric Cello follows on the success of the company's Silent Electric Cello, Silent Electric Violin, and Silent Brass products in recent years, which together represent a growing silent series of Yamaha instruments. | | | Just like the successful Silent Electric Cello, this instrument allows musicians to put on a pair of headphones and enjoy the sonic richness and tone of a concert quality cello, while creating very little external sound. | | | Just like the successful Silent Electric Cello, the resulting sound is a warm and rich, full-bodied tone that not only can be listened to through headphones in privacy, but also can be amplified externally for live performance. |

| | The first electric upright basses were developed in the mid-1930's by a company named Rickenbacker. | | | The viola is a stringed musical instrument which serves as the middle voice of the violin family, between the upper lines played by the lighter violin (soprano register) and the lower lines played by the heavier cello (bass) and double bass. | | | A Fender Jazz Bass Bass Guitar refers to an electric or acoustic stringed instrument with a similar appearance to the guitar, but with a larger body, commonly 4 strings, longer scale neck and tuned an octave lower in pitch than a guitar. |

| | ELO II Getting back to ELO - ELO II ended up with five tracks, all long, because as Lynne has put it, that was the fashion at the time (the album was released in March of 1973, when side-long epics were all the rage amongst progressive rock bands). | | | ELO's tenth album, Secret Messages, was originally supposed to be a double album, but at the last minute the record company decided (for some unknown reason) to cut it back to one record. | | | By this time ELO had moved almost entirely away from the "Orchestra" part of their name, so if that's what you're looking for you might be disappointed. |
