I've been looking and watching for one these for a while and I finally got this one on the 'bay for around $50. Hooray for the economy. :-) I just played it on my Edisonic... Here's the link for the video! www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6WexWwZ2iQBe sure to click the "HD" icon to watch in Hi-Def!

I don't know if there is a difference in the audio quality if you're watching the non-hi-def version.
Separately, I didn't realize when recording but tomorrow, June 28, 1914... 95 years since the breakout of WWI.

I got a Let Us Not Forget on Cylinder for father's day... Down South had found a machine on Craigslist with it listed as on of the records and he sold it to me when his haul came in. I love the introduction on it before Edison speaks.
What would have been his age at the recording.
He doesn't have a very commanding voice.

Moo,
"Let Us Not Forget" was recorded December 30, 1918, when Edison was 71 years old. Edison turned 72 on February 11, 1919.
Despite his lack of a commanding voice, he seems to have had no trouble making people jump at the West Orange factory! ;D
