On August 16, 2017, Martin Fisher of Middle Tennessee State University's Center for Popular Music joined the band Roochie Toochie and Ragtime Shepherd Kings for an intimate Salon in Mrs. M.—'s Cabinet. While the musicians played, Fisher recorded the tracks on his fully functional one-hundred-year old wax cylinder. In this video, Fisher discusses the history and science behind wax cylinder recording technology.
