in the old style

"WEST ORANGE — Sheltered from the summer sun by the red and white tarp of a carnival tent, Jerry Fabris set his ancient machines spinning.

Musicians jostled for position around him, pointing horns at a brass recording bell. A pair of phonographs — two beauties built by Thomas Edison’s laboratories more than a century ago — were the stars of the afternoon.

A crowd of 50 people had gathered at Thomas Edison National Historical Park to watch the soft-spoken Fabris commit a musical performance to wax, and to do it just as the famed Wizard of Menlo Park himself might have.

With the care of a chemist raising a beaker from a laboratory desk, Fabris drew a fresh wax cylinder from a cardboard box. He’d exposed the box to daylight to warm up the cylinders inside and get them ready for a scrawl from the stylus."
