By request, here is a LIVE recording of Rudy Wiedoeft's trademark, SAX-O-PHOBIA on a 1909 Edison Phonograph.

Had a BLAST performing this music from the 1920's at the Thomas A. Edison museum.  Very cool!!!

Most folks associate Edison with the invention of the lightbulb, wax paper and the movie camera but he was also a celebrated entrepreneur in show business.  Almost entirely deaf, Edison is credited with launching the career of Wiedoeft in 1917.
