Billy Murray sings- I Wonder Who's Kissing Her Now - from 1909 on a Victor II Gramophone

how much dose that thing weigh anyways

[BoonBanana]

Though I agree this music is great, I don't believe it is 'better' than it is now. Music is a matter of taste. People tend to look at the past through rose coloured glasses - this song was released 5 years before The Great War when over 15 million people lost their lives in conflict in 4 years. In 1918, over 50 million died from Spanish Flu - do you really think you were born at the wrong time? Though everything isn't rosy now, it's an amazing time to live & listen to music for a lot of us.

50 cent is better !

Great Billy Murray, both the disk as the gramophone are in a fantastic state of preservation, congratulations!

[NefariousNarcissist7]

I was born in the wrong era.:'(

[babyapplecruz]

how many gramophones does he have?

[swift31316]

Old songs touch the heart. They make you feel so much better

[quieterrps]

I really appreciate how many of Billy's recordings have shown up here. The first one I heard was The Little Old Ford which was on a great compilation of novelty tunes. I like this one as well so thanks for sharing it. Very unique and happily acquired taste!

[8000cheese]

@bill3murr This wonderful man was my great uncle - he was married to my mother's aunt Madeline for a very long time. It's wonderful to know his music is still appreciated and loved !!!!

@catwomn64 How wonderful to hear from a relative of the wonderfully talented Mr. Billy Murray. Thanks so much for watching and leaving the comment. Also please check out all of the other great Billy Murray records I have posted on my Victrolaman Channel. You will find a wonderful variety of the songs he made famous, both as a solo artist, as lead singer of the American Quartet, and also some wonderful duets with Ada Jones. There are Billy Records from the early 1900's - late 20's. So enjoy !

Thanks for posting this. It's one of my favorite rolls on my Arburo Dance Organ and I was wondering what the lyrics were. Now I know.

[GreatSongwriters]

Wonderful!

[paulwwwynne]

Fantastic. Love this song by anyone...

[Corrie121]

Wonderful !! It is lovely to hear the verses. I have not heard them sung before.

Thank you for sharing this fine post.

[MMMmaire78]

just beautiful,just beautiful-they do NOT make music like this anymore.i love this song

[desoto1961]

Just wonderful, great sound, beautiful machine, I keep playing this over & over !!

[MMMmaire78]

@desoto1961 I keep playing it over too-its just beautiful

[falumpi]

I must've been born in the wrong time. The music back then was so much better than the stuff they try to pass off as music now. Life just seemed better back then.

[DjosueD]

I agree. It makes me upset just thinking about. They have no idea what the word music means, or what music even sounds like.

[MMMmaire78]

that is so ture-wish we lived back in the 1900's now those were the days.

[pongboy1100]

@falumpi i'm building a time machine to go back to buy some records! Want to go with me? :D

[falumpi]

@pongboy1100 yes let's go back in time!

[pongboy1100]

@falumpi oh darinid i forgot to get some gas for the car... do you know where i can get some plutonium? My Delorian won't start without it and then we can't leave :(

[Annique]

Wow, 100 years and still works just fine. This must have been such a huge breakthrough back then.

[NESHero]

I didnt notice until i read the comments how good the sound sounded on this record, many 78s ( even younger then this one) seem soo scratchy.

wunderbar

[fwdstuck]

Majority of your acoustical records have been worn out by the victor needles, thats why they sound so scratchy.

[victrolaman]

Thank you for your kind comments. What makes the condition of this record even more remarkable is the fact that it has a store sticker on it that indicates it was originally sold by a Victor dealer in San Francisco, and some how over the years found its way to the east coast where I am located.

[BaconAndVlogs]

@victrolaman Hey, I'm in love with Victrolas, and i was considering buying one off of Amazon, I don't know if you have any of knowledge of this, but is that a good idea? or do you know of ways to get a better one easier?

[MissPickletoes]

Great presentation. To think that the recording is 100 yrs old and still sounds so good!
