From the 1910’s reminded me of Babe Pig in the City and The Wild and Chicken Run.

Nice, more early songs from the professor, Thank you very much.

[@sedonaz]

Please make a playlist of the the 1910's.

[@the78prof72]

Maybe someday....still a lot of tracks to gather.

[@erichuffstutler9734]

@@the78prof72 I second that. Now that everyone seems to be home for one reason or another, it would be a perfect time to at least add more 1910s and early 1920s songs with the usual wonderful restorations. Even if not complete at least more offerings than we have now 😉

This song is from the late ragtime era, with its quaint pre-jazz charm.

From 1916. Billy Murray. Recorder songs from1906 until 1941

Tony Jackson was a contemporary and friend of Jelly Roll Morton. This was one of his only published songs, and from Morton's descriptions, it is clear this was highly simplified from how Jackson would play it.

Doris Day's was all I knew.
Surprised to know this is a centenarian!

[@thegizzardofmars7453]

I think I first heard this song in The Shape of Water. I had no clue it was this old!
