The Song of Mister Phonograph Sheet Music
This is a wonderful piece of history regarding Thomas Edison.
This RARE sheet music dates back to 1878. This is 10 and 3/4 inches wide by 13 and 5/8 inches tall.
Published by G. Schirmer in New York, NY dated 1878.
"The Song of Mister Phohograph," is not so much a promotion of the machine as it is a
recounting of the facts.
"My name is Mister Phonograph, and I'm not so very
old. My father he's called Edison and I'm worth my
weight in gold. The folks just yell into my mouth and
now I'm saying what's true: for just speak to me I'll
speak it back and you'll see I can talk like you.
chorus:
"My name is Mister Phonograph ... my weight in gold."
2nd stanza:
I'm the fruit of modern science (the bud was hard to
raise); But sprouts and num'rous Phonograffs are
accepted with goodly praise. Now silence no longer is
golden, and 'words' like truth shall not fail and I
sing to you, as I make my bow, for Edison's
Phonograph, hail!
Very nice condition for such a rare piece.
