Today's song is called Christmas Bells from 1919 and played on an Edison Diamond Disc player. This is the flipside, or the "R" side, from yesterday's song, Celestial Chimes, and was also recorded by the same artist, Robert Gayler.
An interesting thing about these Edison Diamond Discs is that they were meant to be stored vertically in a cabinet, so one side would face left and the other would face right. The left facing side of the record would be printed with an L and the side that was meant to be facing right with an R so, unlike more modern records which have an A side and a B side, these old records had an L side and an R side.
I hope you enjoy todays music.

How big are these disks? Beautiful tune. I miss listening in to old record players like I did when I was a kid. It was very relaxing to listen this tune without all the singing. Just a simple piano. Loved it.
I have a collection of these now and probably several hundred old 78rpm records. They really are a lot of fun to listen to.
The Edison record in this video is 10 inches, but a 1/4 inch thick shellac. It is heavy!
