thread_title:  Father's profession 

message: The infobox for Alexis should include electric, acoustic guitars, Dobro and tiple.  As for "Notable Instruments", although he used a variety of brands and models, including Fender (Tele and Strat) Martin, Levin, Gibson (including Les Paul) and of course Dobro, his main ones were Guild F-30 acoustic, Gibson ES-295 electric and Martin Tiple.  I've amended the infobox accordingly, with a source.  Twistlethrop (talk) 06:37, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: If you read the article, this is one of the top 10 guys, whom - if you went back with your time machine and messed with his life - when you got back, music would be totally different.
Others would include Monteverdi, Beethoven, James Brown, Herbie Hancock - but Korner may be the most obscure person, at least to the average person.  The other such obscure person is certainly John Hammond. 162.205.217.211 (talk) 04:18, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Amazingly influential 

message: I recall Korner presenting a BBC documentary series about the Blues, called The Devil's Music, in the late 1970s. This doesn't seem to be mentioned in the article although it was probably his most prominent public exposure during that period. As far as I can tell there were at least two series, probably broadcast in 1976 and 1979. Given the subject matter it would probably have been broadcast on BBC2 (the high brow culture and arts channel).--TS 11:13, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Devil's Music (documentary series) 

message: He was born Koerner but lived most of his life as Korner, which was his and his children's legal name. So why lead with a name he wasn't known for, instead of putting the change of spelling in the Early Life section where it belongs? 2.101.198.87 (talk) 01:04, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
