I was only 2 years old in 1959 so I can only dream of owning NOS Edison diamond disks. I sure hope all those records found a good home somewhere. Great video.

My friend Jerry Donnell used to buy from him many years ago.Some of the Blue Amberols I got from Jerry has Mr.Ferguson's stamp on the boxes.edisonplayer.

There is a lot of history in that interview, including the way Clarence records -- steeped in the performing conventions of an earlier age. I guess in every place there were rural hoarders like Clarence. What became of his records after he passed away?
