While I was sad to hear that you had to discontinue the Attic, I wanted you to know that a regular listener from Seattle will miss it! Many thanks for programming this over the last few years and all the best in the future.

I am also very sorry to hear that you are going to end your regular program. I always appreciated the huge variety from brown wax tunes to late 1920s jazz. The specials were always interesting and helped me a lot to increase my Edison education. I will definitely miss your program!

I'll really miss your show ... especially the "specials". The Paragon Ragtime Orchestra recording session was a classic! Glad it will be up on the archives. All good wishes.

PLEASE DON'T GO. The attic is one of the high points of my week! Can you go to once a month?

Hi Jerry,
I too am saddened that you are ending your show. It had a tremendous variety of recordings we could hear nowhere else. Best of luck with future ventures!

Jerry, I echo all the comments above. Your show is/was a one-of-a-kind adventure. Thank you for sharing all those wonderful moments of recorded history that none of us would ever hear if you hadn't played them on your program. Also, thanks for the outstanding quality of the transfers. I also wish to salute WFMU for their obvious support, and for archiving all the past programs. I appreciate the fact that they will continue to be available. (I've been listening through them, and have only a small group of 2005 to go!) Best of luck in the future, and hopefully, you will be in a position to do a program again someday.

I must concur with all of the above comments. You have performed a real public service making this mostly unavailable material available to everyone! I've certainly learned a lot, and I've been collecting for years. Thanks so much!

I hope that WFMU will at least find time to re-run the earlier part (2003 to 2005) of the series that was not podcasted as high-quality MP3s at the time. The RealAudio archives sound pretty dismal....

DON'T YOU DARE, young man!!!! I only just discovered your podcast, and it's one of the best and most interesting I've ever listened to.

Many thanks for so many interesting programmes over the years Jerry. There were many real 'gems' to hear (and I don't mean the phonograph!}. Perhaps when the 'Old Codger' has to have a new battery fitted to his pacemaker- or spring to his 'gramophone' ; we could have a guest appearence from you . . . . ?

Come on guys. You gotta be kidding. You can't kill The Attic. It is terrific stuff. Dave - SouthWest UK

Mr. DJ Jerry
I'm deeply sorry about the T.E.A. sudden end, it's very sad indeed, although i discovered your program last Novermber, I can't believe the fact that you were on air during 4 years with a radio programm that played phonographic records.

As a mexican, I loved the 3 or 4 "mexican foreing recordings" you presented in this program. By the way, i found information about the Trio Arriaga some days ago in the internet :

"The Trio Instrumental Arriaga was a very popular musical ensamble (originally a duet) created by mandolin player Joaquin J. Arriaga, and guitarist Octaviano Yanez, which sucess lead them to record some ballroom pieces in the early 1900's for the Edison Phonographic Company in blue amberol cylinders, most of the pieces were writen by mexican composer Carlos Curti.

After this brief message I must say good bye and I hope that, very soon, T.E.A. will return or will be replace by another or even better program of the same style.
