The following program is distributed by the national educational radio network. The old record box. This program consists primarily of selections played from cylinder record. 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. The title of this program sampler may be a bit old fashioned just right for a brief sojourn among a few selections which can be crowded into so short a time. Whistling solos and bird imitations were extremely popular in 1900. At the head of the list of performers was Joe
Belmont whose professional career began on the stage in the 1890s and extended into most countries of the world. He composed his most popular number of beautiful birds singing. But we present a different selection. The happy birds waltz. Among his many accomplishments was making records for people teaching their birds to sing. Or at. Your
guess or at us. Her inner anchor at us thank us her. Us. US Air and US Air.
Vocal solos were popular and prolifically produced by the early record makers. Byron Gee Harland was a favorite tenor on the early cylinders and was thought to be the first soloist to use an orchestra accompany him and instead of the usual piano which did not record too well at that time hear he sing where the sunset turns the ocean blue to gold. Oh. A sampler should contain one item from the large contribution that
Calvin Stewart made to the talking machine industry. I'd like to borrow a paragraph from Jim Walsh writer critic for Hobbes magazine who quoted Fred Hager on Stewart. Kal Stewart stories have made millions laugh. Far as phonograph records were among the best sellers year in and year out. A Virginian by birth callus Stuart spent his entire life making people forget their worries and care and enjoy a good laugh.

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

popular types where the so-called mammy songs filled with nostalgic memories of the South. And the most successful and Best Love singer of these sentimental numbers was of course Al Jolson. At Schubert's Winter Garden Theatre in 1918. He introduced Rockabye your baby with the Dixie melody. Which stopped the performance of the musical extravaganza Sinbad.
