Seeing this reminded me of a few other really old recordings by famous people I've stumbled upon in the past. I still can't get over the amazement of finding these recordings most of us thought anyone would have cared to do or preserve. Johannes Brahms playing his Hungarian Dance #1 (1889) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brahms_-_Hungarian_Dance_No._1_(performed_by_the_composer).oga http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brahms_-_Hungarian_Dance_N... A recording of German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck (1889) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1889_recording_by_Otto_von_Bismarck.ogg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1889_recording_by_Otto_von... There's also some others located at the US National Park site[1]. Although we all have our love/hate of Edison, one of the more positive things he did was record many famous people out of interest or for the sake of posterity. William Jennings Bryan, William H. Taft, Theodore Roosevelt, Edison himself and many others are on that site.
