I found this information at http://www.firstsounds.org/sounds/ It's at the bottom of the page. You can actually listen to the recording Edison made with the phonautograph. ============ _http://www.firstsounds.org/sounds/1878-Edison-MERR.mp3_ (http://www.firstsounds.org/sounds/1878-Edison-MERR.mp3) But who managed to extract the sound from this phonautographic tracing at the ENHS? Was it done at the Site (prior to Scott/Paris)? And what was the actual date in 1878 for the MERR? Allen **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home.

Clements made 7 records for Berliner, and apparently for no one else.? The 7 Berliners were all banjo selections: No.450 "Virginia Belles," No.451"Darkie's Patrol," No.453 "Medley," No.454 "On the Mill Dam - Galop," No.456 "Queen of the Forest," No.457 "Jolly Darkies," and No.460 "Rastus on Parade."? No.457 was re-made by Vess Ossman in August 1897, so Clements was evidently a relatively unknown local player who fell by the wayside as better artists were secured.? Where was your title recorded?

It looks like Mr. Clements or Mr. Clemens. Birth/death dates would be helpful. Did he make any other recordings?
