My colleagues would smile to hear some of the plaintive tenor solos which I perpetrated in the days of my youth!! But sad to say, I gave the old machine away about a year ago to a deserving and not too musical youth who occasionally performs useful labour about the place. I wish now that I had retained it! \/ &#8230; a decade ago [circa 1907, Lovecraft aged 16 or 17], when my phonograph was in constant use &#8230; I remember one record \u2014 a song called \u201cStarlight\u201d, which was truly Western in its cadences: \u201cGood Nity, my Starrrrlight, hearrrt of my hearrt\u201d &#8230; etc. etc.&#8221; &mdash; Lovecraft letter to Rheinhart Kleiner, April 1917.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/edison.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jurn.link\/tentaclii\/oldimages\/edison.jpg?w=529\" alt=\"edison\" width=\"529\" height=\"298\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-15037\" \/><\/a>An Edison Home Phonograph c.1904.
