Daddy never did any RR work to my knowledge (though he did various things transiently in his youth), but he did have a good train whistle by forming his hands into an ocarina shape and blowing. Mine works only sometimes -- not at the moment, I just tried it. I think it depends on the skin's condition.

My maternal grandfather died before I was born. He died on the job of a massive heart attack. They couldn't stop or the train would be late. A doctor declared him dead at a stop and he 'finished out his shift' (as the man who took over for him said) and they delivered him to his base station near his home where my grandmother met the coroner.

There was a weekly slot where one program (the Antique Phonograph Radio Show) alternated with Thomas Edison's Attic. I think the latter was independently produced or at least pre-recorded, and if it wasn't exclusively cylinders they were prominently featured.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:34am
MHLee:

@Franco I actually slept on this station for years. I have no idea how I got here, but originally I had a copy of Songs in the Key of Z. Somehow, I ended up regularly listening to this one.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:38am
RiChoo-Choo in Washington:

I play a lot of cassette releases on my show, but due to the relative unpredictability of the medium, difficulty in cueing, etc, I just play digital rips of them.
I'm hoping to get my studio type cassette deck to the tape machine hospital soon, so may be playing cassettes live without a net.
  11:38am
Listener Robert:

Here: wfmu.org... . My recollection had it back a lot farther than it actually was. I thought it was in the 20th Century, but it was exclusively in the 21st, and my memory is probably spuriously merging it with some other (probably WFMU) program.

MHLee, funny, I remember exactly when I jumped on this train, but I don't remember what show it was. The DJ(?) was musing about where a live recording of The Great Society was from.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 11:48am
