''I Have Grown so Used to You'' – J. Frank Hopkins (1902)


Xylophone solo recorded 1902. Video has extremely random 1906 images, ranging from railway medical care training to a boiler room to an automatic shoe shiner. This was issued on Edison Records, and I imagine it is rather rare, since record sales were limited in 1902. It’s amazing to hear sounds from 114 years ago. Happily, this recording is available on the UCSB Cylinder Audio Archive, which is where I got it from. The pictures come from the March 1906 edition of “Technical World Magazine”, which predicted that one day television would be invented.
