The baseball player inspired this song.

Is this a cover of the George J. Gaskin song from 1893 about the baseball player Jim "King" Kelly?

@GoldenGopher32 No Golden Gopher, this is the about the "Slide" Trombone ragtime musician, not the baseball playing Jim Kelly. Thanks for Watching.

@victrolaman Thanks for the information and posting the video. As a trombone player and Cubs fan I had hoped after hearing the song.

Bruce,

You still have this Sonora?

[victrolaman]

@Turkeydoodlers Yes, the Sonora Elite, with its Herzog patented bulge sided design, still sits proudly in the corner of the Dining room.

Nice! The Red Hot Jazz Archive states that Gennett house orchestras like "[The] House's Orchestra" were led by cornetist Pietro Capodiferro.

I use The Almost Complete 78RPM Record Dating guide II by Steven C. Barr. I first obtained this when I started collecting 78's almost two decades ago, and have found it to be a very complete, easy to use, handy resource for dating 78's. It is still available, so just type it in a search engine, and you can see how to obtain one. Happy Collecting, and thanks for watching.
