# data[].attributes.body
Thomas Edison perfects the phonograph. The new device records sound onto a tinfoil sheet phonograph cylinder. The first recording he made was of the nursery rhyme "Mary had a Little Lamb." The device is capable of both recording and reproducing sound. The invention allows people to listen to music in the privacy of their own homes.

I honestly don't know much about boy scouts, but I'm sure that some versions of "camping songs," "cadences," or "marching songs" were brought about with the boyscouts.

War = Music. Not really, but kinda.
With war there is a very well-known level of emotional stress and trauma, and so uplifting songs were a must for boosting morale. Also, If I remember correctly, messages could be passed through song (lyrics or rhythms). Also, war songs were popular as well.

The 1918 influenza pandemic was the most severe pandemic in recent history. It was caused by an H1N1 virus with genes of avian origin. Although there is not universal consensus regarding where the virus originated, it spread worldwide during 1918-1919. In the United States, it was first identified in military personnel in spring 1918.

It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world's population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States. Mortality was high in people younger than 5 years old, 20-40 years old, and 65 years and older. The high mortality in healthy people, including those in the 20-40 year age group, was a unique feature of this pandemic.

While the 1918 H1N1 virus has been synthesized and evaluated, the properties that made it so devastating are not well understood. With no vaccine to protect against influenza infection and no antibiotics to treat secondary bacterial infections that can be associated with influenza infections, control efforts worldwide were limited to non-pharmaceutical interventions such as isolation, quarantine, good personal hygiene, use of disinfectants, and limitations of public gatherings, which were applied unevenly.

Over the years, listening to the radio became more popular. But during WWII, the population of Americans listening to the radio grew massively since it was the most up-to-date source of updates on the war. In fact, 96.2% of Northeastern Americans had radio. Most people constantly had the radio playing and music was played throughout the day. Music helped give people hope and ease from stress and depression resulting from the war.
