As a point of interest, I decided to sell one of my Edisons on ebay. In
the ad, I have a couple of videos of it playing, and if you'd like to
get an idea of what type of music was popular in the era of these
machines, and what might actually have been available for Quentin to
listen to, click on the video links in the ad.*

* "Come Josephine" obviously wouldn't be around for a dozen years after
Quentin's machine was made, but it's still cool to hear.

Sadly, something like "Shadows of the Night" didn't really exist.
However, there was one cylinder called "Shades of Night" that I hope to
pick up sometime as a proper decoration for my replication of the
Quentin phonograph.
