Au Clair de la Lune
Don't go to the second link. It froze my comp. I heard about the recordings yesterday, it was done with a needle making squiggles on a smoke filled paper and there was no way to play back the recordings at that time, it took further developments in audio and visual technology to make them into sounds, but still, 1860! Pushing 150 years ago!

I'd like to have heard her giggling fit! The interesting thing I see in all this, that machine could have been made by the ancient egyptians or ancient greece or Rome, there was nothing in it requiring 19th, 20th or 21st century technology.
