@CarlyCarlyW You are very welcome. So glad you enjoyed the original 1912 recorded rendition of this Classic by Billy Murray and the American Quartet, played on the original equipment from the same era.

@victrolaman I love the 1911 recording of That Mysterious Rag by American Quartet and Billy Murray, but I'm not sure if they are the original creators of that song, do you know? It's my favorite version by far.
