Sound Recording

The song I listened to from the Library of Congress was "Pretty little dark blue Eyes" performed by Charles P. Lowe. It is an instrumental piece including both the xylophone and the piano. The sound quality of the recording was not very good. In the beginning of the piece you could barely hear any music over the static. Towards the end of the piece the piano grew louder but I was never able to hear the xylophone. From what I heard of the song, it had an upbeat tempo that seemed as if it were played in major. Although the sound quality of the piece was not very good I understand why so many people were excited about the production and use of sound recordings at that time.
