The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Today I had the pleasure of meeting a fellow forum member--Steve Levi. My time for visiting was short, but I enjoyed talking with Steve and being able to see his collection!! He went with us (my daughter, dad, and me) to visit the grave of my favorite cylinder recording artist Cal Stewart! Couldn't have asked to meet a nicer fellow phonograph collector than Steve! Wish I would have had more time!! Attached is a picture of us with Uncle Josh. I'm on the left, Steve on the right. Thanks for opening up your home and collection to us--and for your hospitality Steve! What a great day!!

What a wonderful day! Great visit and awesome phonograph stories. We had the Phonograph karma in finding Cal Stewart's resting place. Agree visit short, but highly enjoyable. Your dad and daughter were real troopers! You are welcome here ANYTIME you come to this part of the country. I am sure are paths will meet again. It was a great learning experience. It is always a pleasure to talk phonographs with such a gracious and knowledgeable. Collector.

Glad you got to visit Cal Stewart's gravesite. It is nice to see that the cross is holding up well since the group is fixed at about 12 years ago. However where the big tree go? There used to be a huge oak tree that overhung the gravesite of him his wife and sister-in-law but it looks like it's gone now. I'll have to take a trip back up and check it out as it has been a while.

Thanks for sharing the photo and information about the visit.
