There is a famous New York City rock club named CBGB, where bands like the Ramones, Blondie and the Talking Heads got their start. It was the heart of the NYC punk scene in the 1970s, and remains a prestigious venue to this day.
The full name of the club is CBGB OMFUG. That name is an abbreviation - what does it stand for?

And for the question about the Carpathian Mountains, I don't agree : it's 'Gerlalachovka' (2655 m) in Slovakia.

Not quite
this is what he invented. Found this on synth website
Electroharmonic or Electromusical Telegraph - Elisha Gray (also an inventor of a telephone, but beaten to the patent office by Bell) invented this simple keyboard with oscillators for each key. That's right, oscillators. Mr. Gray found that he could create a self-vibrating electromagnetic circuit, basically a single frequency oscillator. He could transmit music over a telephone line. Later he built a simple speaker to make the sounds audible without a telephone line. This instrument transmitted musical tones over wires. Not to be done out by Gray, Alexander Bell developed a similar instrument he called the "Electric Harp."
