[Jerry Gordon]

And if the Jeopardy answer refers to the location of the last remaining
large statue of Nipper, the question is "What is Albany, NY?" See

Speaking of early recording, jazz or otherwise, I remember reading
somewhere, possibly Wikipedia,. that the artist who  painted a picture of
his dog listening to a speaker, initially submitted it to the Edison
Company.

They scoffed at the possibility of using it as their logo, saying that it
was ridiculous for anyone to think that a dog would be listening to "his
master's voice" through a speaker.

Of course, he sometime later submitted it to the Victor Talking Machine
Company, and I'm sure you all know the rest of the story.
BTW, if it ever comes up as a trivia question, the dog's name was
Nipper..............maybe now you're ready to appear on "Jeopardy"
