Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Hi.
Last nite, I listened on-line the historic choral music of "God be with you till we meet again", a famous Christian good-bye music, dedicated to the Dwight L Moody, an American evengelist died Dec 22, 1899. It was given to me by John, my very religious elder son & veteran classical (hobby) pianist.
Needless to say the baritone leader singer sounded sorta 'aweful' by still legible. Was it recorded on an Edison's wax coated cylinder or Berliner's thick wax disc? Who knows?

It was Ira Sankey, long past his prime. And it was a cylinder... - clarkjohnsen 13:23:02 02/26/07 (0)
