"The Radio Girl" has long been a favorite of mine -- When I learn how, I'll have to upload her (electric!) Edison of "The Night Before Christmas" -- so sweetly told...
When I was a little boy, I'd go up into the attic of my grandparents house and play for hours on end the old Victrola stored there. It was full of old 78's and this was my favorite tune of them all. It was a thick Edison disk, the "B" side was a tune called "Keep Sweeping the Cobwebs Off the Moon". I literally wore the record out and have looked for a replacement for years. So nice to hear a clear copy of this song. Thanks for posting!
On what label is this version? I've found about four different versions, but this is my favorite...I only wish it was clearer! It is lovely, though.

I love the whistling,being a whistler myself!! This is an unusual recording of this evergreen number, and I enjoyed it very much.

I like the whisteling, the mandoline. And the voice of course.
