Location: http://www.friendsofthephonograph.org
Friends of the Phonograph is a society dedicated to celebrating the phonograph. The society's red-letter days each year are celebrated as birthday parties. On April 9, Friends of the Phonograph celebrate the recording made in 1860 by Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville's of Au clair de la lune. On December 6, Friends of the Phonograph annually sing Happy Birthday to the Phonograph, blow out the candles, and listen to Edison's recitation of "Mary Had a Little Lamb." But other events and phonograph memorabilia (which Friends call "Phonographia") also preserve its legacy.
Friends of the Phonograph have celebrated the birthday of Edison's invention of the Phonograph since 1975. The chapter's home bases are located in Lincoln, NE and Westminster, CO. For additional information go to http://www.phonographia.com/
The photograph used for the logo for Phonographia and Friends of the Phonograph was taken by the well-known American photographer Douglas Keister for his 1990 book "Black Rock - Portraits on the Playa."

The City of London Phonograph & Gramophone Society
Location: http://www.clpgs.org.uk/index.htm
The City of London Phonograph and Gramophone Society was formed in 1919 as the London Edison Society and is the senior recorded music society in the world. Phonograph and Gramophone Societies came into being in 1911, the first being the West London in the autumn and then the North London in December. Other societies usually started as the result of talking machine owners meeting when they brought their records - often in bicycle shops - and going on to form a group, and then a society, frequently with the support of the shopkeeper. The leading members in the establishment of our own society came from these early societies.
The banner shown celebrates the 90th anniversary of the society.
