  • this was my grandfather singing i was called harry champion after him fame in the family

  • Wow, that's amazing. One of his grandchildren watching my video !! There is little about your Grandfather's personal history on the internet, could you tell us how many children he had ? Since he was born in 1866, I would assume that he must have had some children later in his life, since you are a relatively young man. Thanks for watching and letting me know

  • Hi, what is on the other side of the record?

  • On the other side of this Columbia is "I've found Kelly" by Billy Williams.
