Ira Rogers Nelson Jr. and his father worked with Thomas Edison on the development of this recording system.
This recording is of great historical value.
WAAM, Newark, began broadcasting in 1922. At that time it was the second most powerful station in the East.
WAAM went on to become WNEW, New York.

Subject: And now.. More organ music!
Pretty odd recording of an 'Experimental Radio Program' which consists of 2 songs (!), the first is a totally overwrough and hoary version of "Onward Christian Soldiers" and then a nicer selection, a duet of a song called 'Beautiful Isle Of Somewhere' which would be nice except the duet is sometimes woefully off key. This program of music is repeated TWICE for us luck listeners, 2 x the organ music! 2 x the duet work!! Weeeee!!!
