Thanks for posting this, its wonderful, there need to be more stuff about music from before 1950. Although a lot of the songs would be called racist today, being about "coons" "japs" and "chinamen"

Thanks for your comment. I generally try to avoid posting any poilitical incorrect songs. I would not say that this is an example of racism (jappy-jap-jappy filled in the gappy-gap-gappy .... in the west of the mappy-map-mappy...). The song is from the Operetta "The Geisha" by Sidney Jones, there is also a newly made recording of it available on CD, issued in 1999 by the Hyperion label.

I'm just surprised there's anyone else on YouTube who even knows who Dan W. Quinn IS! Maybe you should change your user name to ilove1894 :)

Wow, very FEW in youtube know how to handle a phonograph cylinder. Gotta give you some points just because of that! :)

I had this one too, in a lot of 55 Columbia brown waxes, must have been pretty popular, about 30 of the cylinders were Dan W Quinn. Columbia used an oil of coconut instead of ceresine in the formula.

Unfortunately, you can't reproduce that piano-sound on modern pianos. Such a pity.

And judging from the number of thumbs up my comment received, there are at least seven other people who know who Dan W. Quinn is, which I find even more impressive! Perhaps these artists are not as hopelessly buried in the depths of obscurity as I thought.

Very nice phonograph. If you do not take the crank off before starting the motor will it turn backwards then fall off on this model? I really like that sound of the piano used in this record.

Thanks
