Was poking around on the Mayrent Collection for some #accordion inspiration since I've been playing around with one again. Lot of stuff I've never heard, but wow, this one from from A. Greenberg of New York in 1906 must be one of the oldest klezmer recordings ever made, although was cylinders were being made at the turn of the century so I can't say if it's the oldest. Cool stuff. "Occordion" heh.
