Today I just posted the first video in what may be an overly ambitious adventure.
In my new series, the 5000 Series, I plan to sequentially produce videos for each 5000 series Edison Blue Amberol cylinder introduced between 1925 and 1929 (5000 - 5719). In this series, I will feature not only the contents of the cylinder, but add interesting pop-up facts to hold the audiences interest.
Take a look and if your interested, subscribe to my channel. I plan to produce a new video of a 5000 each week

Nicely done, Shawn.. I look forward to other installments. Now-- At roughly 50 a year, how long will this project take? 
Hawaiian music isn't at the top of my playlist, but the Amberola VIII is one of my favorite machines. Sounded great.
Thanks-
Brad Abell

Thanks Brad,
The Tune selection is not what I would have hoped to introduce this series, but it was number 5000. We'll see if I can keep this going!

It is a nice informative video and an ambitious undertaking! For the future videos, I suggest you remove the ¨pop¨ sound everytime an info card appears. This way we can sway to the hula with no distractions.

Great Video Shawn!
Very ambitious mission, I wish you success!
I attempted to upload all 940 of the Domestic 2min. Albany Indestructible Cylinders a few years back.
I was able to to to upload 500 videos before life got in the way.
Eventually I lost interest and sold about 90 percent of my cylinders.

I also have a few late 5000 series BA's on my Zwebiejazz channel:

Re: New Video Series - 5000 Series
Nice video shawn!
I liked all the little bits of information that popped up during the video... but I found the "pop" noise each time one came up to be annoying.
Maybe you can zoom out in a future video and show that herzog cabinet
Cheers,
David

Re: New Video Series - 5000 Series
Brilliant idea!
I initially thought your intro music was the cylinder and was amazed at the fidelity and sound
I've subscribed to your channel so I don't miss anything, but hopefully you can update us all here as well!
