Old school

Picture is not great, but this is an old recording of Dame Nellie Melba.

Dame Melba, was always mentioned in crossword puzzles and my sisters copies of Bunty and Judy, as a famous singer, and the inspirer of Peach Melba, and Melba toast

dame nellie melba

Her image is currently gracing the Australian 100 dollar bill.

We have a recording of her, at work. Which is not something I should be sharing, so you did not see this!

Its fascinating, music from another era. Something Queen Victoria, and T. R would have listened to.
