[Dixielandjazz] Wax cylinders

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

My brush with wax cylinders ended in disaster.  When I was a kid about 10 
years old we found in my friends garage an old phonograph with a large 
basket of cylinders.  The basket was one of those that was larger at the top 
and small at the bottom and about three feet tall.  We would play a cylinder 
and put it on the top and reach down into the basket and get a cylinder near 
the bottom.  We were having a great time listening to the machine and 
playing with it until I reached into the basket and ran a large splinter up 
under my nail.  OUCH!!!  Thus ended my fascination with recorded cylinders.
