I found this fun cartoon online! Sorry about the size and photo quality, it's the only copy I found find.
Anyone know where it came from?

I had to laugh at the push-up piano player. I immediately thought of my own push-up & my still extremely out of tune piano. It certainly sounds like I'm tickling the ivories with a sledge hammer at times

This is why I don't play the Diamond Disc in the evening. And Shane think of the pleasure that a tuned piano and a Pianola would bring to your home( not that I have an agenda here or anything......

My neighbors are not the type you want to upset. Unless you want to be invited for dinner

My neighbors ought to be more concerned about upsetting me! While indoors, I can hear the thumping bass of their mobile 1,000 watt ghetto-blasting rap music three blocks away, and that is no exaggeration. There are laws against that, but it is never enforced.gramophone78 wrote:My neighbors are not the type you want to upset. Unless you want to be invited for dinner![]()

I live in a Condo complex and my neighbors comment on the nice soothing music ( Strauss waltzes, classical, 20's) from my Credenza. Little do they know their listening experience would be quite different if the Moody Blues came on 78 rpm discs.

Edison saw the neighbours as potential new customers.
