Off Topic Very Interesting Program on The Evolution of the Electric Guitar (TV)

[mb99zz]

I caught a very interesting show on Smithsonian HD recently called "Electrified: The Guitar Revolution". It goes over the history of the electric guitar from its inception through the modern era. Unfortunatley, no mention of EBMM, but it's still interesting and worth the watch. I didn't know much about the history of the electric guitar.

If you get Smithsonian HD, it's playing again several times on 12/23/10 and then again on 12/24/10 and 1/1/11.

Thanks for the info mb as I would love to catch this, only problem is I do not have that station though I am sure my brother does.

Yeah, I didn't get this channel until I switched to Verizon FiOS. It is a really cool show. Lots of interviews and demonstrations. Since it's the Smithsonian, they show some pretty rare early production electrics and they play them.....some sounding quite fine.
