OK, this is a really crappy sketch, but it was an interesting experience for me, who loves old, old music. One of the Trust properties in Lincoln is Dr. Woods' home. There, in 1978, was an old Edison talking machine which played wax cylinders. It was spring-powered (with a crank) and as it spun, the needle and brass horn moved along. I rigged up a microphone to the horn and recorded all of the cylinders. For the recorded music enthusiast, here is the list:
