one detail which had drawn my attention on this video is that of the singer's voice looking similar to John McCormack's, the Irish tenor (well, at least to me - just a guess). Anyway, thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed it :) Happy 2012
The cylinder you have was probably before he signed exclusive contract with Edison and Victor. Murray also arranged for Van Brunt to sing duets with Ada Jones for Columbia and other companies outside Murray's exclusive contracts . Columbia stopped releasing new cylinders in 1909. They distributed cylinders for Indestructible and other companies, but they didn't record new titles after 1909.

I've never heard a cylinder phonograph sound this good before, even the amberola's sound tinny compared to this.

This is Walter Van Brunt. Very good, realistic sound.
