As promised, here is a brief video of Harry C. Humpfrey's 1913 Edison Blue Amberol Cylinder of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address being played on a 1909 Edison Fireside Phonograph at the 2009 Memorial Day Parade Ceremonies in Hanson, Massachusetts. Pior to the Ceremonies and before the arrival of the Parade at the Civil War Monument & Town Hall Green, I entertained the Parade Spectators with Patriotic Music Played on both the Edison Fireside A, as well as a Standard D.

I must say I was extremely honored & proud to do this. Many of the spectators and their children came up and asked questions, took photos, and were absolutely fascinated with the phonographs and delighted with the selections I played.
