60 years ago, when there were no TV’s, Computers, or Cell Phones, getting one of these cards as a child would have made their day. When someone gets one of those Digital Music cards today, I ask them to give them to me.
I look at them with awe, like looking at new electric helicopters! They are modern marvels for sure. But I always wondered where musical cards got started. This video shows and plays the Barker Music Box Card (circa 1949-1950) from the Barker Music Company, Cincinnati, Ohio. Many of my digital cards have either quit working, play only partially, or the soldered in batteries have died.
So there is definitely something to say for the “crank”. I always loved the K.I.S.S. way of doing things anyway!
