'Tis the Season for Sharing Mechanical Music
By Gregory Filardo

Christmas Time Travel Program

Thought time travel was not possible?  Join us this Sunday, December
13th, 2015, at 2 p.m. at the historic 1858 Patee House Hotel/Museum
located in St. Joseph, Missouri.  You will hear Christmas carols on
a Mira disc music box and a 1885 Bijou Organette, "A Visit to Punkin
Center" narrated by Uncle Josh in 1905 on an external horn phonograph,
and concluding with a live performance of Christmas carols on a 1900
Deagan Shaker Chime set.  This set was used in the early 1900s by a
patent medicine man who toured the central U.S. in his covered show
wagon.
