@pax41 I must revise my last comment. From the Victor on-line discography I see that the Hayden Quartet recorded it in 1905 and the Edison Male Quartet recorded it on cylinder in 1905 as well!

Wonderful! I know his music so well, but I don't think I have ever seen a photo of him. So much depth and pain and knowing in his face--it feels like a contemporary photograph.

BOB ~ there is a special sincerity in Homer's (thankfully) straight rendering of this Foster classic, together with her artistic fermatas ~ about as good as it gets ~ Thank You! ANDY

Thanks for sharing this recording. Wonderful song - one of my favourite of Foster's. I've also loved Louise Homer's voice since I was young. My parernts had a a recording of her singing Ai Nostri Monti with Caruso which I still play regularly to this day.

Louise Homer was (or so I was always told) a distant cousin on my mother's side of the family. Perhaps that's where I aquired my appreciation for outstanding singing. In a present climate full of mezzos, to hear a true contralto is rare, and Louise Homer (1873 - 1947) and Marian Anderson were two of the finest proponants of that art in the last century.
The great American composer Samuel Barber, incidentally, was her nephew, and dedicated his "Hermit Songs" to her memory.

Just discovered this in your great collection. Although first published in 1854, this is one of the earliest recordings of this Stephen Foster classic and it still remains popular today. Thanks for posting this gem!
