Sending Messages Via Phonograph

Here is another neat post from The Boat Lullabies.  During World War II, some recreation centers for military personnel offered the opportunity for them to record a message or song on a phonograph disc and send it to a loved one. This post features photos of both sides of such a disc, sponsored by Pepsi-Cola, as well as an audio clip of the recording.  The would be crooner on this record is somewhat worse for drink, and the recording quality has deteriorated over time, but the glimpse into history, both visually and aurally, is interesting.
