A 123 year old recording of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" made by
the Edison company has been recovered with modern technology.

Great post. I was nosing around the site, and found three Kinetophone auditions. What struck me about them is the clarity of the recording. I suspect that had been played only once or twice, but the sound is much, much better than I would have suspected.
