Interesting! Here are mine to add to the mix:
What were his thoughts on the contemporary recording artists at the time of his going into the studio? Who did he like/dislike? Any favorites? If he wanted to hear/have a recording (not of his own) now from one of his favorites, what would it be? Of those who recorded, who was (or was not) represented well by their recording? How well did the Edison staff "accommodate" the band (e.g., number of takes, temperature of the room, etc.,.)? Would he care to sign a few hundred autographs for a few list members? (just kidding!)
