The
Phonograph's 109th Birthday was celebrated in our Oakland-Emeryville
home in December 1986.
Phonograph
Christmas ads filled the walls along with phonograph postcards
and 'original' FOTP art pieces as guests had been invited to
submit a "work" inspired by the Phonograph for the
Phonograph Art Exhibit.
A
phonograph concert was also held featuring "Home Sweet
Home" by the Columbia Phonograph Co., circa 1896, "Stars
and Stripes for Forever March" from circa 1898 and an Edison
Advertising Cylinder by Len Spencer circa 1906.
