An old standard on Vocalstyle roll #13391 as played by Osgood and Black in 1925. Written in 1894 by James W. Blake and Charles B. Lawlor, this song became really well known in the failed presidential bid of Al Smith in 1928. Today it is almost a theme song for New York City.
Listen to the result of the fantastic idea that a sheet of paper with holes punched in it can recreate the artistry of a musician. 100 years ago this was unbelievable technology, but what is more unbelievable is we can listen to it and hear exactly what people heard at that time . How many forms of our present tech. will still be around and functioning in 100 years?

With you all the way here...this is immeasureably pleasureable to listen to and gives us a feeling of our culture at the time that is impossible in any other way. I'm going to use some of your recordings to introduce this to my grandchildren in a couple weeks. I can only hope that someday....they will remember...I wonder if UTube will be round in 100 years!?

I remember they played this song in an old SNL episode of MR BILL GOES TO THE MOVIES. They showed an old silent movie of MR BILL's grandad comically named Vaudeville Bill. He still got the same treatment from evil Mr. Sluggo and in the silent movie cards they had in big letters OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH NNNNOOOOO!!!! I laughed so hard and yet felt bad for the little guy getting hurt.

A very nice recording of this! Sounds great on your piano. I might fix that small right edge damage so it doesn't catch and damage the roll on rewind? Being a collector myself, I'd hate to lose a copy as good as this :)
