If you like the older stuff Dr. D plays, this is a great show for it.
He plays a lot of early recordings from the acoustic era, including
cylinders and discs. It's the 100th anniversary of the invention of
the phonograph in 1877. He even recreated the first recording of
"Mary Had A Little Lamb" on Musical Mike's cylinder recorder. I
believe this may also be the first time he played "Time Warp" or
anything from Rocky Horror.
