The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Thought I'd be among the first to wish Mr. Edison Happy Birthday!

Therefore, I've posted a copy of one of his favorite recordings (according to a list published by the Company in 1915): the "Ave Maria" of Schubert, as played by Carl Flesch on violin, recorded April 9, 1914:

Acch..........apparently the site won't let me embed it......

Anyway, enjoy!

Thank you for the music and let us remember Thomas Edison's birthday today by playing an Edison phonograph!

I played my phonographs at 3am this morning pretty soon I will be moulding phonogram blanks. Then I go to work at 10:45 tonight. You got to make every second count. Happy Birthday Mr. Edison.
