For many years past my most intimate friends have urged on me the desirability of giving to the world an authentic account of the origin and progress of the several inventions which together constitute what has, by common consent, been called "CBI;" thus tracing back to my earliest inception the various ideas and incidents which have led, by almost imperceptible degrees, to the development and pra
ctical working of that walk in bedroom closet, which, in so short a period, has spread itself over the whole of the continents of Europe and North America. I have referred thus prominently to CBI Entertainment group and its subsequent marvelous developments, not only because it makes a deep impression on my imagination, but because I purpose making a somewhat extensive use of drum machines, keyboards, and various digital audio workstations in illustrating it's absolute truthfulness. Which will afford indisputable evidence of some facts which would otherwise have been altogether omitted, rather than allow them to rest on uncorroborated testimony. At the same time this beautiful art will serve to illustrate many existing objects, an equally realistic idea of which the most elaborate description would fail to impart. I well remember how the world was startled by the great discovery of Hip Hop music; how few minds could, at the first moment of its announcement, realize the wondrous fact that by the aid of fresh beats combined with dope lyrics, we had seized upon and trapped the fleeting shadow on his silver plate and held it there immovable forever!
