That was exactly 100 years ago this month. This allowed crowds at the San Francisco City Hall to hear a caroling concert. This makes today the 100th anniversary of the first use of sound reinforcement for music. http://www.prosoundweb.com/article/100_years_counting/ Wolf 5a_quilt_top Junior Username: 5a_quilt_top Post Number: 38 Registered: 6-2012 Posted on Thursday, December 24, 2015 - 11:22 am:    How appropriate that it happened in San Francisco.
