Have you tried the new Mossophone records? Not only are they guaranteed to give you a lifetime of sorrow, they will also make your neighbours' lives miserable!

The critics are RAVING about it:

"This is utter, utter shite"
-- Banjo Weekly

"What the f*** is this?"
-- The Banjo Enquirer

"Surprisingly, when the record stopped playing, my ears stopped bleeding!"
-- Banjo Times

What are you waiting for? Get yours now and get your own Mossophone Record Player free!

So here's a fun little march called "The Sports Parade"... very catchy and surprisingly easy to learn, it's a poor man's Ad Astra. A brilliant tune!

Great tune there Mike and excellent playing, ideal for the coming event, or as far as I am concerned, the non-event. I don't think I have ever heard Sports Parade played before !

 Now  don't go upsetting people. We all know that there are a few folk who are easily upset.

I will see if I can sort out the score for the library.

For those who wish to follow in Mr. Moss's footsteps and produce a phonograph cylinder recording of great popularity, Sports Parade  is now available on the Library Page.

I uploaded the Midi file I'm playing along to here: www.megaupload.com/?d=M3KNKS5V
Feel free to use it, there are only a few small mistakes.

good playing , Mike . & a very nice tune by Joe Morley

May be you didn ' t knew that but the commercial  ' stuff of these early periods used to export the Mossophone  ; The commercial name in France was the dalmassophone , working very well but with a strange water ' noise in the recordings , i used to search in the historical archives : the boat was wrecked just arriving in France .

Yes, apparently the sale of waterlogged wax cylinders in France gave the Mossophone Company its bad reputation! That, and its odd marketing choices when it came to recordings; they made a record for sale in France, one of the sides was Strauss waltzes and the other was an audiobook on the life of Genghis Khan!

i should have been the commercial ' director of these cylinders ' Co  . and CB could be more popular .........  with ........... winelogged wax cylinders ;;.......at least in the north of France
