By any chance, do we know what the matrix or catalogue number was for the
selection he participated in?

As far as I know, the last surviving "name" performer who recorded for
Edison may have been Dorothea Ponce Verkamp (1909-2000), one of the Ponce
Sisters.

 If all goes according to plan,
 tomorrow I will meet a 104 year old gentleman  who was part of the Drury
High School Band which cut a  Diamond Disc in 1924.
 Am I correct in assuming that he may be the last person  alive to record an
acoustic Edison disk?   If you had the  chance, what would you ask him?
