The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Anyone have a copy of Milford’s record and cylinder list for Ada Jones? I have been compiling a list for years now and would like to sync the two.

Are any of his notes or presentations preserved? Hurts my heart to think all of that was tossed.

I have copies of Fargo's typescripts. They are long so I do not know the best way to get them to you or to post them. "Cylinders" is 13 pages, "Discs" is 37 pages, and "Addenda" is 6 pages. If no one else has them readily available, I can Xerox or scan or something.

If you were to scan them to PDF and post them, I'm sure many people here would love to see them.

My plan is to make a digital copy available once I sync mine with his. Based on my working knowledge there were some he missed but remarkable achievement given his pre internet resources.

I thought the name was familiar to me. Milford Fargo was an instructor in music education at the Eastman School of Music during my student years there (1959-64), although I did not know him.

I remember selling him Ada Jones records 35 or 40 years ago.
