My uncle won it in a contest in 1946. Included among boring family chit-chat is a circa 1952-53 recording of a UNIVAC computer programmed to play "Dixie". As far as I can tell, the oldest existing US computer recording is said to date from 1957. That said, this could very well be THE oldest surviving computer generated tune in the USA. Obviously experts would have to give it the fine tooth comb treatment for verification. The machine is in fine working order and has been carefully stored for some time along with the recording. Anyone interested in authenticating this possible piece of US recording history? - Mark Lo Presti, Buffalo NY Stored in our home is a Webster-Chicago Model 80 wire recorder.
