This is a fun recording. He reminds me of other Scandinavian dialect musicians like Hjalmar Peterson, Ernest and Clarence Iverson, and Harry Skarbo/Yogi Yorgesson. Though I had never heard of Jimmy Jenson until now. Also, it's always nice to run into another 78 and old LP record collector from Minnesota "in the wild" on RUclips. Do you have other recordings by Minnesota performers from the 60s or earlier?

Great acoustics on this record that your Brunswick Panatrope certainly reproduces most faithfully! I first heard this record around 1958.

A true Light-Ray Electrical recording. It's one of the better ones using the new method. Ben Selvin does the vocal honors. I have both takes of this recording. Have loved it since about 1964 upon first hearing at my grandmother's!

I especially like the cello accompaniment in this

Gunnar... this sounds amazing! Can't believe you want to let this one go! I'd keep it if I were you!!!

Great record! To me Robert Lewis is trying to sound like Henry Burr.

Very nice record!!

This beautifully reflects the feelings of so many as WW1 dragged on. Have always been interested in the social history of WW! songs & have posted many. Thanks for sharing!

Is this yours?

Reser put out some great great stuff, also in his recordings that he did for other bands! Plays an amazing banjo!

They always add the right amount of rag to mid tens era tunes, I have another medley, "those charlie chaplin feet" which i uploaded recently.

Fantastic record! And such a grand machine! I enjoy mine, so glad you're enjoying yours.

The band is King Oliver's Dixie Syncopators- not sure why they didn't just put his name on the label.

Red Nichols was fantastic in the late 20s and early 30s, though seems by this time they were starting to go downhill. Still a great recording.

This recording wasn't yet on RUclips, so I figured I'd throw it up quick. Couldn't find a good photo of the label, unfortunately.

OH! I LOVE THIS!! EDISON Needle Cut records are just wonderful!

THIS IS AWESOME! What a Fantastic Record, I LOVE it!

"Happy Jack" is Jack Parker, A.K.A. J. Donald Parker on Edison.

Beat the copyright claim!

I think the bass might be caused by the Light-Ray recording method. I've heard Brunswicks that sound bassy as well.

Wonderful song! I haven't found a good copy yet. Excellent example of Maryland southern songs. I live near the Chesapeake, well below the Mason Dixon line. Very nice upload!

Johnny Cash is awesome 👌

Nice looking and sounding machine. Classic record too 😀👍

A real classic. Thanks for uploading this!

Sounds wonderful and so full of life! I fell in love with this machine :) It's amazing that we were able to invent such a great machine, so long ago.

The rythm backing on this really makes the recording.

Sounds good!

Congratulations on a very nice find! I hope a crank for that is easy to come by.

I like

This is cool

That really sounds amazing for an acoustic disc from 1916!

Saw an upload of this earlier today.

Awesome old player! Cool to have

This is one of my favorite songs, no matter who's performing.

Nice!

Poor Vernon sounds like his BVD's are too tight? you need to tweak down the governor a bit to 78.26 rpms.

Hanvent heard this one before!

The video is ok with one static image, it's a classic style of video that came out of the golden age of music-uploading, though if you wanted to make your own unique thing, i'd also welcome it.

note: first song is He's 1A in the Army, Harry James. second song is: Freddy Martin's Grieg Piano Concerto

Despite what everyone said, I thought this sounded pretty good. It's sideways, though. Make sure you mount your camera onto a tri-pod or something like that.

Cool Song

Thats a nice pitch you set it to. That 80 or 81 or so?

What a great sounding machine. Lovely version of this classic with some hot playing. There's some good stuff to be had on these 'batwing' Victor records.
