Edison National Historic Site
I ran across some Edison Early Recordings made into Mp3s from old cylinders on the Edison National Historic Site, a real treat. Some early Sousa Marches played by Sousa's Band, and some minstrel stuff, and readings from as early as 1880s to the 1930s.
Of course one of my folk favorites involve whistling and yodeling and banjos.
For instance:
Jere Sanford's yodeling and whistling specialty
Performed by: Jere Sanford
Record format: Edison Amberol cylinder
Release date: 1910
My favorite story about an Edison Cylinder is in this Video I might have shown before, from Tech TV with techie Chris Perillo as stuttering host.
