Listener comments!
	1:19pm Mark: Hello Jerry! Great to hear you back, albeit for a one night stand. I'm still going through withdrawal since October '07. Been wearing out the grooves on my 'Thomas Edison's Attic Program' Records.............
	2:07pm Richard Densmore: Hey Jerry, It was good to hear your show again!
	10:35am Howard Beale: Jerry, thanks so much. I'm a little less mad today, because I heard your program.
	11:07pm Ed: Good to have you back if for only one Tuesday night. Love those Edison Records. My favorite one tonight was the humoresque rendition of "I`m Afraid To Come Home In The Dark" Thanks.
	1:52pm Roy S: Good to hear your dulcettones on the wireless again!
	7:39pm Jenn: Jerry- Great to hear you again. Please come back every Tuesday night!
	11:03am Brian Hartnett: Please find some way to continue this great program and service. Where else can we ever be exposed to the history of sound in such an interesting manner. My Edison Diamond Disc player, a family purchase in 1922 for and still running fine, has only so many slots for recordings and you have broadened our musical horizons. Thanks so much for what you've done.
	5:51pm Bruce Neveau: I just discovered this site today, August 3rd, 2008. Only to learn that all this was going on and I knew nothing about it. It is not fair to end this. This is fantastic stuff. Young people need to have access to this kind of information. It even helped me understand why every closet in my house is packed full of cylinders, DD's and 78's. I truly love this stuff. Whoever dreamed up this site gets a gold star.
	6:04pm Bruce Neveau: And one more thing. Recorded sound is an American technology gone global. It is our responsibility to preserve it's history. Thanks.
	9:29pm Colin Hancock From Texas: Too Bad ther arent any more. I miss the records
	4:52pm Jim Warner: Jerry, it was great hearing you back again. It was a great discovery today. I hope you'll continue to sub on occasion. Your programs are a wonderful source of historic sounds.
