Thank you very much for uploading your video films. It's not only the fine old music 'machines' you show us, but also a nice job of video and audio recording. By doing so you share a rich music history with the world. Thank you!
My pleasure. It's actually enjoyable for me as well - although challenging at times when I can't get enough lighting on the machine I want to capture. Thanks for the nice comments.
@musicmandon1 Thanks for the comments. I'm sure that I have other artists as well on early recordings doing this song but by Al Jolson at the time this sheet music was printed? I'd have to see that record to believe it.
Jolson introduced this song in the 2nd Edition of The Honeymoon Express (opened April 28, 1913), which is why your sheet music says "Al Jolson's Terrific Hit" and has his picture. He didn't record the song.
@Alphonsus0di0Ligouri Interesting comment on Nova.... I have not seen that documentary yet - although my primary interest in that regard is with history documentaries. Thanks for your comments.
Other than this recording by Billy Murray, the only recording I know of for this song was by the Hoosier Hotshots in 1939--and that also was a doozy, as the song's listeners might have said.

One of my favorite Billy Murray songs! Thanks
I, too, would love to hear a version by “Jolie” - I can only imagine he was famous for SINGING the song, but never RECORDED it.

This sounds much better than the disc version! Love Edison's, have a Standard C I guess about 1902?
I love this song. I have the same cylinder.
Outstanding.
You are very welcome. Thank you for the comments.
@amiedetherese Always nice to hear from you! Thanks!
