@yankeerose7 Hi Yankeerose7,

I wanted to let you know that I just re-posted this and the sound is much better. Removing a majority of the hiss was the tough part, so I hope you'll enjoy it. It's definitely easier to understand the words. ha ha

[yankeerose7]

It has a very cute title but i can't understand the words. Would you be so kind to send me the lyrics? Thanks :)

[althazarr]

@yankeerose7 I'll see what I can do for you on that. If I can find it, I'll re-post it with a direct recording so you can hear it better.

Yay! I didn't know you had so many Little Wonder's!! They are so marvelous!!

[althazarr]

@RaymondTVinyl Yes sir, thank you. I wish I could get all of my collection posted at once to share with y'all. I'm always torn what to post next. :-)

Love this one. Is that a Credenza? I just got a lot of 18 more Little Wonders. I can't WAIT to get them. I adore these.

[althazarr]

No, the brand name is a Strand. I've not been able to find out anything on it except they were made in the 1920's in New York. I'm glad to hear you got some more of these little gems coming. :-)

Billy Murray's definitely the "Tenor" here...

[MrXnews2]

@fromthesidelines It sounds like a cross between Murray and Arthur Fields [to me, at least]...

[fromthesidelines]

I heard another one of these "Little Wonders"...funny you should mention Harry Waterson, because the one I heard was Irving Berlin's famous 1915 "novelty", "Cohen Owes Me $97" [however, the label listed it as "He Owes Me $97"], sung by a "Tenor".

[althazarr]

Thanks for the information! I'll see if I can find that one. It sounds like a good one. There were a lot of other artists that started doing their versions of Cohen and Uncle Josh records after the original telephone one sold over a million copies.

Very catchy tune sung by a fine singer and well recorded and very listenable. Thanks a lot for sharing these Little Wonder records in such good condition.

Thanks for the history and the song. I'm beginning to appreciate the ideal of these little wonders now.

Thank YOU !!
