Just like the old days...
This is my Pathe windup phonograph which dates from the turn of the last century. It boasts an original red horn, which is battered with age but which still belts out a fair old sound! This plays Pathe discs from the centre out, which is a bit of a novelty, and other makes from the outside in as usual.
The disc it is playing here is an orchestral version of The Teddy Bear's Pic-nic, which I wish I could share with you. There is quite a convincing growl throughout, perhaps not the kind of bear one would wish to meet in the wood! lol.
I sometimes stop and wonder what times this old machine has lived through. Several wars for sure, and, I wonder what comfort, solace and hopefully, joy it may have brought to it's companions of the day.
