The audio curator at Edison National Historic Site rummages through the archives of the legendary Edison Laboratory of West Orange, New Jersey. Tune in for Edison cylinder and disc record rarities, many not heard since "the old man" himself stashed them away, featuring: Tin Pan Alley pop songs, ragtime, vaudeville comedy sketches, flapper dance bands, old-time country tunes, historic classical music, laboratory experiments and other artifacts - all dating from 1888 through 1929.
Thomas Edison's Attic is also available as a podcast. For more info on how to have the MP3 archives of Thomas Edison's Attic delivered automatically to your computer and/or MP3 player, visit our Podcast Central page.

Jerry,
Thanks for doing the show. I'm fortunate to have received several of your premiums over the years, and I have very much enjoyed listening to your program. You have played so much music that is rarely heard, some of it great, all of it interesting. I'll miss it.
Thanks again.

Thank you, Jerry, for the years you were doing this show. It has been a great addition to my musical knowledge of that era plus your excellent theme shows and well researched material. It will be definitely a great loss.
