Editor’s Note: Major Morgan was a musical toy released by Playskool in 1979. The toy was designed in the likeness of a marching band major with an electronic keypad on the torso. Song cards were inserted into the device, prompting children to press the keys necessary to produce musical notes for familiar songs such as Mary Had a Little Lamb and Pop Goes the Weasel. Children could also compose their own musical numbers by freely pressing the keys and experimenting with different sounds and rhythms.
