the article reads

Quote:
The union, the American Federation of Musicians, led by trumpeter James Petrillo, had previously opposed the recording of music, or “canned music”.

From August 1942, musicians were replaced with records in radio, and in cafes and bars were bands were replaced with jukeboxes.

where it should read
