The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi- Next Sunday I'm doing a Phonograph "talk" and demonstration for a group of about 35 seniors at my church -- "Seasoned Saints"
Since it will be just before Valentines Day, I'm focusing on courting and marriage songs, eg "Let's Grow Old Together Honey", "Gee I Wish That I Had a Girl", "Silver Threads Among the Gold" and several more-

BUT-- I can't find my nice Valentine postcard that featured a cylinder phono-- I'm putting together a PowerPoint to go with the music. I'd love to include a few valentines.

**If you have any vintage Valentines related cards or Ads that feature Phonographs, that you could scan and send me, it would be much appreciated.

Either PM me or just post them here for all to see and I can copy/paste some into my PP.

Thanks Much!

"Shine on harvest moon" would be a good one Stanley and Burr

Our local senior living facility has also asked me to make a presentation of old machines and music. It struck me, that before I force the people down memory lane, that most of them are of late 1930's / 40's vintage. thus a cylinder phonograph is as quaint for them as it is for us. So I was thinking suitcase machines and early rock & roll records?

Brad,

Here are a few that I found and cleaned up. Some are a little later than our collecting era. Hope this is still in time, and it helps!! Have a blast!

"A chatter chick who's really reet"

Wow, there's some outdated references!! (Reet, petite, the finest girl you ever wanna' meet!)

I found a couple more, and realized I missed some cleanup on isle 5 on a couple previous ones in my hast this morning.

Hi All- Thank you for your responses and all of the Valentine scans-- There's definitely some I will be using in my talk next Sunday--- "Somewhere"-- I have a Sonora card/ad that is a Valentine's greeting, but I can't find it-- Perhaps I let it go at one of the Wayne shows.

Anyway- I'm looking forward to showing some of the "old folks" some old machines next week-- Oh--and in case you're wondering about my audience-- To be invited to the luncheon, you have to be 60+ -- I am ....well seasoned .. We have one young lady who is nearing her centennial birthday Me? Well I am above the average age of the group...
Thanks again for all the help-- Keep those cards coming! They're fun to look at.
