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.

Sure wish Grandfather was here to enjoy that "Sauerkraut Is Bully" medley, as the family (like so many Russian immigrant families) used to make their own sauerkraut from vegetables from the family garden. And he did rock the babies to sleep, too! | |
