Subject: Another poor rip from my website www.cylinder.de
This is an unauthorized rip from my website www.cylinder.de by a user who registered at archive.org with under unemployedprogr@yahoo.com.

Beware, he converted this rip from low-bitrate RealAudio and then removed any reference to my transfer work. How scurrilous!

Subject: Charming !
A calm, charming rendition of Christmas tunes (they are ALL Christmas tunes, although not so familiar to 2005 audiences as 1919 ). The instrument, which was very well recorded, was a celeste, not a xylophone.

Subject: Lots of bells, not much christmas.
This recording is not so much christmasy, but uses a xylophone to play some familar ditties and a christmas song or two. This song surprisingly sounds electronic, even though such a thing could not have been invented then. But still, pretty pedestrian.
