The Birthday of Joellen Lippett, a Friend of the Phonograph

 

 

 

Each year Friends of the Phonograph bring their phonograph inspired artistic creations to display at the Phonograph's birthday party. Joellen's Phonograph Nativity with its wind-up toy Phonograph in the hay-filled crib was one of the most renowned of the art pieces exhibited at December 6 birthday parties.

Joellen, a charter member of the Oakland-Emeryville Friends of Phonography, and fellow member Debbie Cooper were also later the creators of the hand-painted Friends of Phonography sign. Although the Friends of Phonography was later renamed The Friends of the Phonograph, the original sign continues to greet each year's Phonograph birthday party attendees.
