The Christmas of the Phonograph Records: A Recollection by Mari Sandoz

The Christmas of the Phonograph Records: A Recollection
by Mari Sandoz [B Sa542] 

Mari Sandoz relates a story of the Christmas a phonograph and records arrived at the farm. Instead of paying debts, Old Jules used an inheritance to splurge on this music. No one else in the area had such a device so everyone from miles around gathered at the Sandoz home. For days visitors ate, danced, and sang to music from their old countries and to new artists.

Published posthumously, this is a riveting peek at a joyful time in what was usually a hard life. A quick read at only 36 pages.
