Thank you so much for doing this as it brought back many memories. Also thanks for your blog about Auntie Elsie which made me cry!  Of course I recognise the tunes in the music box, but don’t think I ever knew their names.  what a wonderful way of bringing the family together!

I always played the music box whenever I went to Auntie Elsie’s house. I remember being mesmerised by the whirring brass cogs and cylinders and the hypnotic music. I guess it may have gone a bit out of tune (and, it seems, out of time) over the years, but I can still recognise the songs – haven’t a clue what any of them are called, but I would have thought that the track list would be in the same order as they are on the cylinder. The cylinder has a start and a finish right? When it jumps back, that ought to be track one, which is your song A if I remember right.

If you take a picture of the song list without a flash, perhaps in various different lighting conditions (eg, kitchen, living room, outside), then that might make the titles easier to read, cos at the moment I’m having a hard time reading any of it

RIP Auntie Elsie. Long live the mystical sounds of your musical box.
