1:14 I'm convincd that's BLUTO singing the solo. (Gus Wickie, the original voice of Bluto did at ne time sing in a quartet).

I can only hope that they were allowed to rest a few minutes between each recording session - back bef. 1900, there was NO way to mass produce , save by recording over & over. They cut 10 cylinders at a time and thus no two were exactly alike.
By the mid 20's, cylinders were dubbed from 78rp shellacs, or pressed from special stampers that made the seam as faint as possible. By then, disk records had come to stay.,

Where can a person find a phono like this? Antique shops never seem to have them and I'm leery of buying online.

Where did you find the background on your youtube page? Very nice edison standard. My standard B also has the banner decal.

Comment to the one below...that's why I love these old recordings. I believe in reincarnation. Yeah, it sends a chill down your spine, but it also gives you the hope that someone will remember you you're gone. This is living proof, a hundred years later or so.
