The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Anyone have some thoughts on the first day for those who were unable to attend?

Wyatt Marcus performed his rendition of Vernon Dalhart's “The Wreck of the Old ’97” followed by “The Prisoner’s Song” to the assembled crowd, which brought many to tears. It was really something to behold.

What did Wyatt do, sing, play an instrument, or play a phonograph?

He sang and played harmonica and jaw harp. Everyone agreed that his voice was so pure and clear that the angels themselves were singing along.

I'm sorry I missed that. I know he has a good voice from his Youtube videos, and I know he restores rare 1920s small instruments,like Rolmonicas, but I didn't know he could sing.

Thanks gang....

My understanding is the Class M sold for $22500 which, in my opinion, was a great buy for someone.

a great buy for someone.

And a serious blow to the seller. That's so far below what I expected that I'm speechless. I've seen that machine, it was killer.
