Two months ago, I wrote this post about Staatsburgh's Brunswick Panatrope that is located in the Main Hall. This music player, which dates to 1927, has one original record inside the player. Was this disc the last piece of music the family listened to while using the Panatrope? What else did they listen to? I always wondered about the rest of their music collection and I am happy to report that I discovered two binders of additional records in storage! What can these records tell us about the family's musical preferences and the role of music in their lives?
