Teddy Bear's Picnic 1907 - Nostalga Overload at 78rpm

But not just for kids!
Written in 1907 this 102 years old music is performed here by Henry Hall and his orchestra. 78RPM sometime in the 1930s? Label 50s?
Dad would sing it me at bedtime and it's probably well known by a lot of people.
The sound is electrically connected to the camcorder and there is no scratch & crackle reducing software used. Not sure if it's the correct stylus used.

PLEASE DO NOT COPY / RIP FROM YOUTUBE, I made the effort... or email me your plea..!

I recently attempted something similar, recently. Though my turntable is 78 capable, all I can find for it are LP needles. They're too thin for my 1907 Zonophone & 1916Aeolian Vocalions' 78 grooves, as the needles go right to the bottom of the grooves instead of riding on top, where all the code is! Should I weight the tonearm, maybe, to add resistance?

I don't like the sound of that! Here in the UK many old electrical 'junk' shops or car boot sales / jumblesales are great for picking up cheap second hand record reproducers which do 78rpm.

Was 'The Whistler and his dog' on the flipside?

It's astonishing how much information can be stored analog!

An inspirational scientific creation meets artistic genius

It's ironic that these discs will be around for longer than tapes and CDs.

This proves that time travel is possible. Someone took a TV, N64, and Banjo-Kazooie back to 1907.

I had 3 or 4 boxes of 78's that looked just like this. I just junked them. Perhaps I made a mistake.

@serpentinecreature Thank you and Gods blessings to you as well my friend. Stay safe and well.

[serpentinecreature]

@steinwaygrande1 Yes! God's blessing to you always.

@serpentinecreature Indeed its "grande"to still be alive and able to enjoy these nostalgic melodies before they are lost forever.

[serpentinecreature]

@steinwaygrande1  But isn't it "grande" and blessed to still be here! Thank you again!

[steinwaygrande1]

@serpentinecreature Like wise. I grew up listening to this on my old wind up 78 RPM gramaphone that my parents would play for me to get me to go to sleep at night. Thats a million years ago :-)

[serpentinecreature]

Yes I still love this,I am old but this gives me a wonderful feeling inside to hear this song.This was the version that I grew up with.Thank you for sharing it.
