Steinway was founded March 5, 1853, as everyone knows. They were famous for the sounds they produced, and rightly so. In 1882 Thomas Edison helped establish the Edison Electric Illuminating Company of New York. People had to have some time to become accustomed to this new fangled technology. When they got around to liking flipping a switch versus lighting gas lamps and candles and burning down their houses, you KNOW they started to demand what we've come to know as EXTENSION CORDS. Because, golly gee, there weren't that many outlets in times of yore. Sooooooooooo..........what came to the rescue?????..............wait for it..................YOU know it and I know it...............YES!!!!!!........our beloved extension cords!!! Twenty nine years of impeccable Steinway sound established Steinway as the natural foundation for most future patents for extension cords.

Of course, EC's initially came in blah-lack (just like the Model T), but as time went on, they morphed into the beauties that grace our homes today. Zoning ordinances demanding many outlets were put into place due to the demand of durable goods (they really meant to say EXTENSION CORDS (shhh) ) so........here we ARE! Hence, here comes full circle of Steinway pianos and EC's (DUH! How does anyone NOT see the connection????) Natural sound vs Electricity. Obviously, Steinway piano legs became conduits to the ostentatious displays of extension cords. If this isn't in every Fourth Graders repertoire of essential life facts, then it's high time for all school districts to revise their curricula.

You know, sometimes it's exhausting trying to re-educate peoples' understanding of the true symbolism of EC's. They think EC's exist just to accessorize a room. NO!! They exist to remind us all of the times in where there was NO electricity and people had to rely on their family and friends for communication. Thanks to EC's and Thomas Edison, we can ignore those we find annoying ("oh, I'd love to, but I have a painful scaly rash all over my body--like, who knew scallops are a shellfish? SORRY!!!" )

I bow down to you, Ye who knows the history of electricity, Steinways, and ECs!!!
Thank you for re-educating me on the basics of all of the above!!!
I must now get a Steinway to wrap with my precious ECs!
