Forum Name Change

Folks,

After much discussion over the last two weeks we at the Forum have decided on a more internationally appealing name. Since the brand name Victrola is only well known in the U.S.


The Talking Machine Forum • For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Good Night & Good Luck,

John

New Phonograph Forum

Folks,

I haven't utilized this blog for anything since I started it sadly. I'm going to make an effort to change that now. First off I'd like to announce the creation of a new on-line discussion forum for antique talking machines: The Victrola Forum it is a part of my fledgling Talking Machine Info family. It is my hope that together with The Online Edison Discussion Board and Phonoland we can build an all encompassing triumvirate of phonographic knowledge.

I was pushed to create The Talking Machine Forum after hearing from many friends that a new setting was needed. I am amazed at the response so far. I want to thank everyone who has so far become a part of this rapidly growing forum. They are the reason for its success! Thank you all of you!

On another musical note, please check outA Glimpse Into 'Dawn' Of Recorded Music from today's broadcast of All Things Considered on NPR. It is a fascinating story.

Good Night & Good Luck,

John
