Louis T. Glass, Jukebox Hero
By Robbie Rhodes 

A kindly reader in London sent us a URL on an interesting article
from 1999 about the first jukebox:

  Jukebox Hero and Gordon Dorsey
  By Mark Athitakis

  Jukebox Hero Louis T. Glass ...
  He introduced his machine -- cunningly named the nickel-in-the-slot
  phonograph -- 110 years ago last week, on Nov. 23, 1889.
