Default Edison Museum -- new music on wax cylinders

Anyone and everyone knows about the Edison Museum in West Orange, NJ -- certainly worth the trip if you're interested in the history of 19th and 20th century science and engineering -- the curator of recordings has impressed some wax cylinders with modern music:

Cool. Thanks for posting. I did a bunch of work at that place, and was involved in getting all the railings, signage, visitor center stuff built. It was a very awesome place to work- really fascinating to see Edison workspace in such authentic condition- just as he left it.
