Yes he did.....he was clearly way ahead of his time....Sometimes one wonders if he was even from this world LOL

It seems to me that Howard Phillips Lovecraft was fairly well convinced Tesla was indeed from 'somewhere else' in his story "Nyarlathotep" which he wrote some time after seeing Tesla and some of this stuff at the 1893 World's Fair. He called him 'the Black Man' and his 'infernal machines'. As he continued writing stories that involved that entitie, Nyarlathotep became stranger looking and more diabolical in the stories. Tesla did always wear black suits and his hair was black. It seems HPL found him un-nerving.

Oh My My My.....I LOVED That....How he got all those sounds so wonderfully is beyond me.  And I bet he was thrilled to play it on that instrument...  $45 Million  YIKES....

And Now I'm going to enjoy it once more....

They just had a story on Tesla on the science channel and this was brought up.....

But my gosh...the number of patents he submitted was amazing....

And just listened to the Viola again and still amazed how wonderful it sounds....THANK YOU.....

Isn't it splendid? I'm sure he was on cloud nine to be able to play that. Glad you liked it, TL

Was it? That was something a friend and I came up with about 3-4 years ago. We started doing a little research and the World's Fair was brought up. Then sure enough, I find out HPL's grandfather took him to the Fair. So, it is true then :smile:

I love the very beginning where he blew on it....didn't want any obstructions while playing I guess LOL....But yes...I enjoyed it.  And once again...THANK YOU....

They brought up a number of references as to what folks thought of Tesla...and they did bring up the Worlds Fair also.....

I'll see if they are still airing it on "On Demand" and see if Youtube has any clips of it.

You're welcome. At the end, he looked like he was in heaven. He really did.

You wouldn't want anything on that thing that wasn't supposed to be there. Not for $45 million dollars.

Smoking display of talent on that violin ... am starting to think that is my favorite instrument, even though I did learn guitar in my youth ...
