The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Finally got my T-shirt. My mom brought it when she came to visit. Here it is on my GEMs.

Bruce,

Wonderful photo, but I must say-the contents are much cuter than the shirt!

Regards,
John

Folks,

The new 2010 TMF mug is now available. The 2009 mug will also be available until Christmas-time. Also we've just added tote bags to our "collection".

Regards,
John

I love the photo! Jerry B.

Thanks Jerry!

As I like to say, pictured in the photo are one Edison Diamond Disc machine and my two GEMs

Say Edisonfan, is that an wooden organ pipe on your wall behind your left side? I used to attend many LATOS theater organ concerts in the 1987-2000 years, & I got to check out many of the organ chambers in the great old movie palaces & auditoriums. Looks like a woodwind stop, perhaps a tibia pipe? I'm not a musician(but AM a music lover), & so I am going on memory as to what that tibia pipe looked like. Course it MAY be just a big rolling pin:) By the way, I've enjoyed your YouTube videos immensely.

Yes that is an organ pipe on my wall. I am surprised someone recognized it! I do not know what type, it is? I do know it's a "G" It does have stop on top.

Nice idea. Just ordered a mug.

Trust there will be a link to the shop on the home page?

Well, I certainly was able to experience the original "surround sound" being up in those organ chambers. So that's why I knew what that was on your wall:) Often I was up there when a rehearsal was in session-sort of like Quasimodo in the bell tower. You can really FEEL the bass notes in your chest when you're just feet away from a 32 foot pipe sounding off from a pedal note! And to keep this on topic, I have lots of Jesse Crawford 78s(but not enough of 'em!) where he is playing the Wurlitzer.
