It's been a while since I've uploaded due to some obstacles in my personal life but I've finally returned and with one of those songs that just make me happy to be a phonography nerd. Enjoy!

History Through The Horn - Ep 2: Stanley Kirkby
Просмотров 2657 месяцев назад
The last episode was really more of a pilot and I've refined things since then. I hope to redo the first one in the new style sometime down the line. Some things I couldn't find a place to for in the video: Kirkby had a cousin named Louise Kirkby Lunn who was a famous opera singer. I've heard it said that her notoriety is why our Stanley called himself Kirkby. I think it's more to do with his m...

Issued in 1908 on British Zonophone Record: X-42756. Nice British cover of an American song which at the time of this recording would have been 8 years old. Will F. Denny Version: ruclips.net/video/doiXblQW5G0/видео.htmlsi=DeLyEUXTei0mDkUc
Wedding Bells Are Ringing For Sally - Stanley Kirkby
Просмотров 1237 месяцев назад
Issued in 1931 on Edison Bell Radio Record: 1465. A very nice "waltz ballad" (as the record puts it) sung by Kirkby with great emotion and skill, even in his relatively advanced age. If you're fond of Kirkby it might please you to know that the History Through The Horn about him is written, recorded and being edited. I should have it up very soon which is quite exciting!
Under The Anheuser Bush - Billy Murray
Просмотров 3357 месяцев назад
issued in late 1904 on Victor Monarch Record: 2639. This is a sort of parody of Down At The Old Bull and Bush written in 1904 to advertise beer for a company who's name I forget. I've never cared much for alcohol or songs about alcohol but this is pretty nice.
The Honeysuckle and The Bee - Harry MacDonough
Просмотров 4408 месяцев назад
Issued in around 1901 on Victor Record: 3552. One of the very few recordings of this song during the era in which it was released.

Issued in around 1899 on Pathé cylinder: 1806. I have no clue who Fernandez was and have found absolutely no information regarding him. Lyrics: J'fis connaissance rue d'la Roquette un jour de printemps. D’une gentille gigolette qu’avait dix-sept ans. J’dis à la môme Tiens, t’es gironde sans plus d’boniment.

You Can Do A Lot Of Things At The Seaside - Stanley Kirkby (as Stanley Barnes)
Cute train song. I like it.
The first ever Pop Song categorized as Traditional Pop according to Rate Your Music.
I’m his great grandsons friend
Thanks for posting this gem. The fellow in the photo is not Arthur Lennard. I think it must be Langhorn Burton from the 1920 silent film Little Dorrit. Arthur Lennard was also in that film as William Dorrit. Lennard wrote/performed a comic song ‘So Was I’ which has been recorded by the English folk group Magpie Lane.
When are you uploading more videos?
Probably the highest quality J.W myers recording i've heard so far, excellent tune this one is.

The one from 1891 sung by him before this version has the oldest voice recording of the N word that i’ve heard.
A lot of the info is the same or similar to the information included with the CD on dan w quinn by archphone records.
Thanks!
Steve Porter was a bit of an anomaly. His solo singles like this one were a precursor to his later work as one-fifth of one of the greatest supergroups in history, the Heidelberg Quintet. Yet on their recordings, Professor Porter is almost invariably eclipsed sonically by colleagues William F. Hooley, John Bieling, Will Oakland and inevitably the legendary Billy Murray. Of course when you have five such strong soloists on the same project, someone has to play the fifth wheel. In that respect, he was the perfect fit. A true visionary.
Before the legendary Billy Murray established himself as the premier solo artist of the first quarter of the 20th century, artists like George W. Johnson, Len Spencer, Steve Porter and Dan W. Quinn set the standard and raised the bar for those to come. The recording industry was off to a fantastic start.
I am well aware. Take a look at my video essay about D.W. Quinn. Then the one about Stanley Kirkby if you fancy British music. More videos about the early Phonograph industry to come!
Thought you might be! And the more celebration and research, the better. Keep up the great work!
I prefer this version over the Ada Jones version. I can better understand the lyrics.
The more I 👂Edward,the more I like him😉

Welcome back! Some songs are so uplifting & agree, they make us happy to be collectors. I've been the same, one or two issues have paused my uploads, but hope to be back soon. Thanks for this delightful song!
Good 10" pre-dog. Welcome back. Hope that all is well.
💗
Excellent 😀
😪 "promo sm"
I have always loved this song! I first heard it at the London Museum of Transport many years ago.
This is better than any song from the last 16 years
To be precise this wasn't borrowed from the British version "Come Come Caroline", but from the German song "Kom Karline" or Kom Karlinchen". Joop greets
Of course it's "Komm Karline" or "Komm Karlinchen" with double m.
I have this disc. It is a very early Murray and it is not common especially with Monarch label.
Very early recording of this popular tune.
The Meeker version is a year or two der. I have a copy but the cylinder is cracked and doesn't sound good at all.
Thanks very much
An excellent, warm & sensitive biography. Love the pictures & the songs. I think Kirkby's popularity came from not only his technical qualities as a singer (there are many good singers), but from his warm friendly & intimate style. I'm sure many families would gather round the gramophone, feeling that the record was made especially for them. He was raised in a part of the UK known for its warmth & good humour. As for 'canned music' the term is said to have been coined by Sousa, who not only disliked the sound of the phonograph on playback, he saw the resemblance of boxed cylinders to tin cans. Yes, his band did record (perhaps for commercial reasons), but its believed he never conducted them at recording sessions.
I had heard the same thing about Sousa not conducting his band during recording sessions but hadn't heard that he coined the term canned music. I've seen it pop up more in British sources than American so I always assumed the term came from there. Very pleased that you enjoyed! I couldn't find as much on Kirkby as I would have liked but I think I've managed to do as cohesive a job as anybody else could have. Next is Charlus, one of the only Phonograph singers with an autobiography! I'll be able to go pretty deep into the recording industry in France from the 1890s to avoid 1920s and it will be a blast to write!
@@misterphonograph1893 Will look forward to that.
Do Billy Murray
I've only have heard Judy Garland sing this before now. I didn't even know this song was this old.
William Redmond was my great uncle! Born in 1875 in Brooklyn, NY but moved to Connecticut as a child. He sang in local churches in the Derby/Ansonia Connecticut. He married Margaret “Maggie” Menton and they later moved back to Brooklyn during his stage career where he sang with the White Rats in Prospect Park. He sadly passed at the young age of 41 to appendicitis in 1917 and left behind his wife and 5 children. The musical scene supported the family with many benefits during the sudden time. Maggie and children moved back with her family to Derby/Ansonia, Connecticut.

Nice video! Amazing his records still turn up today, hard to find anyone who recorded more records and indeed more record labels.
1903/1904 is pretty late to have a announcer isn't it?
Only slight and cylinders would go on to have announcements for another 6-7 years. Discs in France had announcements well into the 1910s. It's possible that this was recorded slightly earlier, maybe late 02 and released in 03.
Wow! A French G&T comic song. You sure have an eclectic record collection. Perhaps he was a French Harry Lauder or even a Cal Stewart? I haveEnglish,Austrian,Russian,Italian,Spanish G&T's but no French! LOL.
Felix Mayol was much more of a balladeer. He sang some comic songs but the majority of his repertoire consider of ballads. If you had to compare him to an English speaking singer I'd say he's like the french Byron G. Harlan.
Nice Mercadier. I must have a disc or two of his somewhere in my collection.
He was very prolific and if you have even a small collection of French discs it's very likely you have at least one of his records. A good comparison would be Billy Murray, not necessarily in style or personality but in the sense that anybody who collects records from the time and place has some amount of their records.
Nice old VonTilzer tune.
Once again beautifully sung by our friend Ernest. You may have noticed him clear his throat in the early part of the intro. London wasn't the healthiest place to live back then & nearly everyone smoked, adding to the prevalence of respiratory problems.
I remember watching an old British movie from the 60s that refered to London as a sea of "fag smoke and tweed" haha. I can only imagine that it was even worse in the midst of the industrial revolution when the air was thick with smog from factories. I didn't notice that throat clearing either and I'm usually pretty observant, thank you for pointing that out to me!
@@misterphonograph1893 Don't worry, I'm obsessed with sounds that aren't intended to be there, gives a human touch to the recording. Rarer on electrical recordings, but this one has the word: "Stop" at the end of the intro & the outro: ruclips.net/video/xMYuqsRWd7M/видео.htmlsi=ygiq23LYrgtq-Ry9 Might take a listen or two to spot it.
@@tiga4180 I am very fond of those unintended sounds and once I have enough uploads of them intend to make a playlist just for records with ghost sounds.
@@misterphonograph1893 That would be fantastic. Hope it stimulates further research. I'm sire, with the right technology, more behind the scenes information could be obtained from them.
Interesting how many poignant songs were written about Sally, which also exploit the rhyme with alley. Still in absolutely fine voice with his intimate style. here's the earliest Kirkby recording I have: ruclips.net/video/AtvUDMWx7kQ/видео.htmlsi=BRdpxS3RlPTn15d9
Very nice song which I am not familiar with.
Always wondered what this Gentleman looked like 🙂
Vintage Billy Murray & every bit as catchy as the British 'Down At The Old Bull And Bush'. Wonder how much they paid the trombone player who represented the German Band?
Does anyone know the specific year this is from?
Famous record! You have first edition Monarch.
Adieu Grenade (Jules Angot - Paul Henrion vers 1850-1900) R. Adieu ! Grenade la charmante Doux paradis, doux paradis du voyageur ! Je te quitte comme une amante… Adieu, je te laisse mon cœur ! Adieu ! Grenade la charmante Doux paradis, doux paradis du voyageur ! Je te quitte comme une amante… Adieu, adieu, je te laisse mon cœur ! Loin de tes murs, mon adorée Le sombre ennui va me saisir : Car jamais en nulle contrée Je ne perdrai le souvenir De ces bruyantes cavalcades Foulant le palais de tes rois Ni des joyeuses sérénades Qui m'ont fait rêver tant de fois ! Adieu, adieu Voici la nuit, ma souveraine Qui sur toi répand ses faveurs La brise, de sa douce haleine Porte au loin le parfum des fleurs Et sous la sombre jalousie Où je viens de me reposer Je vois un ange que j'ai choisie Me dire adieu dans un baiser Adieu, adieu... Merci. 😊
super rare
Now this is a true gem! Announced, well sung & both verses. Like the way he ups the tempo for the chorus. I posted an orchestral version of similar vintage, featuring a whistler who comes in early, realises his mistake, then whistles the chorus.
Wonder how songs were written with an umbrella featured as a courting accessory? Here's 'Come Under My New Gamp' by Billy Whitlock: ruclips.net/video/mkDtOY16UKo/видео.htmlsi=v8CbU2UnOf1oSRI3 Then of course there was 'Bus Stop' by 'The Hollies' which featured an umbrella.
Didn't expect a Hollies reference in my comments! What a pleasant surprise! Yes, courting songs about umbrellas are indeed a curious artifact from our recent history. Also this is probably the only American recording to ever use the word bumbershoot, makes me wonder if the songs lyricist was British...
@@misterphonograph1893 First time I've heard the word 'bumbershoot' though 'gamp' is quite common, coined by the Dickensian character 'Mrs Gamp'
