The audio curator at Edison National Historic Site rummages through the archives of the legendary Edison Laboratory of West Orange, New Jersey. Tune in for Edison cylinder and disc record rarities, many not heard since "the old man" himself stashed them away, featuring: Tin Pan Alley pop songs, ragtime, vaudeville comedy sketches, flapper dance bands, old-time country tunes, historic classical music, laboratory experiments and other artifacts - all dating from 1888 through 1929.
Thomas Edison's Attic is also available as a podcast. For more info on how to have the MP3 archives of Thomas Edison's Attic delivered automatically to your computer and/or MP3 player, visit our Podcast Central page.
