When I was a kid we had a cylinder record player. One of our favorite cyliners to play was
Bake That Chicken Pie (1907) by Arthur Collins and Byron Harlan, two of the most popular singers of the day.
Warning: This song is highly politically incorrect for 2015.

Another cylinder that I liked as a kid was
Good-Bye, Betty Brown by Frederic H. Potter (1910). Unfortunately, we accidentally broke this one, along with several others--they are made of bee's wax and are very fragile--and I didn't hear it again until Youtube came along more than a half-century later.

My parents had an Edison with a rack of cylinders. I found a needle at a record store and got it working. My brother has it now.
