For anyone who needs a smile today... This is Leroy Anderson's 'The Typewriter' for orchestra, complete with all the familiar 'dings' and clitter-clattering of a typewriter. The soloist here is Alfredo Anaya, with conductor Miguel Roa. Credit to Voces Para la Paz and Músicos solidarios. | Classic FM

June 23rd is National Typewriter Day! This day commemorates when the typewriter was first patented on this day in 1868. The typewriter was patented by American inventor Christopher Latham Sholes. For today, we are sharing a video from the desk of our Museum Director who typed a message using her 1950s apple red Smith-Corona typewriter. #NationalTypewriterDay #typewriter #typing #sachistorymuseum #museum #Sacramento | Sacramento History Museum
