Edison phonographs frequently called talking machine. These records were issued in a period extending from the late 1890s to 1920 now. Your host is a red herring to him.

Over two decades later dance music became the rage and at the top of the list was Dardanelle law published in 1919. Fred Fisher is credited with a revision of the original piano arraying to the syncopated Foxtrot. The quite obvious recurring bass pattern was later known as the boogie woogie. People bought the song while lawyers made a good profit from lawsuits and claims on the royalties. I am
