The Canadian Antique Phonograph Society meets on a regular basis, currently eight times a year
between September and June. CAPS meetings attract more than 50 members and guests. Arrive early to peruse the auction tables.
Each meeting begins with a presentation of about one hour in duration by one of our members or a specially-invited speaker on one aspect or another of
recorded-sound history. This is followed by a 20-minute social period where members exchange information about records, machines and parts, survey the auction tables
and any set price sale items, or view one of the displays that members often set up. Facilities are also available for screening short videos during the meeting.
Following this is an auction of a wide variety of sound machines, recordings and music-related ephemera. The cost of the meeting rooms and refreshments is paid for
by a levy of $5.00 on all members and guests present. Guests are welcomed at our meetings. To participate in the auction, however, you must be a member.

Romanelli in the Gloamanelli
with Arthur E. Zimmerman and Betty Minaker Pratt
The latest forensic research by our intrepid team, into the life and
music of Luigi Romanelli (1885-1942), itinerant virtuoso violinist, theatre
pit player, orchestra leader at the Strand and then Allen Theatres, longtime
dance band leader and music director at the King Edward Hotel, recording
artist, radio personality and major music contractor in Toronto. Besides
collecting all of Romanelli's 78 RPM recordings, and sorting out the puzzle
of Romanelli's Edison needle-cut discs of 1929, Pratt and Zimmerman have
uncovered two lost Romanelli broadcasts from 1939, including an interview.

VOGUES and other Picture Discs
MUSIC TO SEE..A display of PICTURE RECORDS from the 30s to
the 80s, and the story of the ill-fated Vogue label of the mid 40s. We'll even
play some of them, because believe it or not, there was interesting music atop
those images. If you have some that you'd like to display, please contact David
Lennick as soon as possible: dlennick@sympatico.ca or 905-579-4447. We're not
short of Vogues but we'd like to show some Victors from the 1930s and some
interesting foreign discs as well. Digital images will also be part of the
presentation, especially of the rarest items.
