I haven't either. I really like the 'reverse side as well' - 'funny that way' is one of my very favourite songs. Thank you very much for your comment. Interesting.

Very interesting. Thank you very much for saying.

Really pleased that you like this record. Thank you again.

I agree with you. Also, using imagination I could almost believe I am present at the service all those years ago. Thank you very much for your comment.

It is certainly an interesting record and, as you say, it is very entertaining. Thanks for taking the time to comment, really appreciated.

@@thegramophoneroom Most welcome! Thank you for posting the videos!

Thank you very much for commenting. I am really pleased that you like this record.

Very interesting information. Thank you.

You're welcome! Van & Schenck were well-known vaudeville performers at the time. After Joe's death in 1930 {heart disease}, Gus continued as a performer in his own right.

Thank you very much for your comment. I am really pleased that you like this - great to know the year as well !

Really glad that you like it and I agree with you. Thank you very much for saying.

I don't really know this either. A very nice tune I think. Thank you very much for your comment.

Very interesting memories you must have there. Thank you very much for saying.

I am really pleased that you liked this record. Thank you very much for your comment.

I agree with you entirely. There are one or two other sound-boxes which I would also rate above the EMG including the Lenthall. I have three different versions of this sound-box. According to 'EMG Colonel' they were made in three different versions - which were 'treble' 'mid-range' and 'bass' sound-boxes. So one is more suitable for opera records, another for spoken word etc. They are nice to look at as well ! Thank you very much for your comment.

I agree with you. Thank you very much for saying.

Thank you very much for your comment. I will search for the versions you mention on-line.

I am unsure as the 78 records are all mixed up and strewn around.

@@thegramophoneroom alright

Are they 78 records ?

@@thegramophoneroom oh yeah

@@thegramophoneroom some of them look brand new

Me too ! It is about five and three eighths of an inch at the widest point. (I just measured it !). Thank you very much for your comment.

@@thegramophoneroom oh ok I have a 8 inch German orchestrola disc that has jazz songs on them

@@newambassador376 Very interesting. I haven't heard of the ''Orchestrola' label before.

Very interesting information indeed. Thank you very much.

I am glad that you like it. It is a very pleasant song. Thank you very much for taking the time to say so.

That sounds like a wonderful memory. I really do like this song incidentally. Thank you very much for your comment.

I am glad that you like this one. It is one of my favourite records as well. Thank you very much for your comment.

@@thegramophoneroom thank you. Welcome

I am very pleased that you like it and thank you very much for your comment.

Thank you for your comment ! I do have some more jazz records to upload but most of my collection consists of other genres.

Great information ! Thank you for what you say - I think that the Octagonal one you refer to is called 'Common Wealth'. Quite a nice sound to it. I haven't heard of a 'Fletcher' Soundbox before. Interesting.

@@thegramophoneroom Here's a Commonwealth gramophone, though not sporting an octagonal soundbox: th-cam.com/video/ZZHTz-wiIac/w-d-xo.htmlsi=I-1QgAUZdgoQzVpm They did make many models, guessing this small portable would be an entry level model. My Fletcher soundbox has a baffle plate behind the diaphragm, with six tiny concentric holes. Surprisingly, this doesn't reduce the volume & its sound is excellent. Correction: It's hexagonal, not octagonal

Thanks very much for the very interesting information. Billy Williams is one of my very favourite performers.

@@thegramophoneroom I like him too & have posted several of his records. A highly prolific recorder in his sadly short life 1877-1915. There's a short Wikipedia article on him giving some bio info.

I didn't know that. Very interesting indeed. Thank you.

Thank you very much for the record date. Very much appreciated.

Now, thats a long time ago !

Thank you ! Interesting information.

I like this one too. For me, nice to wake up to in the morning and have a first coffee.

Great memories ! Thanks very much for mentioning this.

I didn't know that he sang with his sister. Very interesting indeed. This is one of my favourite songs and I have a few different versions to find and upload in the future. Thank you once again for your comment.

@@thegramophoneroom Know nothing of Nancy Charman's stage career, other than that they made a handful of records together over a short period. I believe this duo was curtailed when Nancy married & went to live in France. Another example of them performing together: th-cam.com/video/lXfZOuDx0oo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=hfVeHzGoP_ZpBx4Z

@@tiga4180 Great information and thanks for the link !

@@thegramophoneroom You're welcome. Look forward to a gramophonic chat anytime!

I agree and thank you.

Very interesting indeed ! I am glad that you mentioned the Winner record speed issue. Also, as you say, Stanley Kirkby is always good to listen to. Thank you very much for your comment.

@@thegramophoneroom You're welcome. As a general rule, records from the earliest times can be almost any speed, but many settled to be somewhere near 78 by the mid 1900's. Many Winners were around 78, but a significant minority are, in my observations fast. I posted a 'Jumbo' of C.1910 (Ring Down The Curtain by Arthur Blackwell), that recorded so fast that they needed to use an undersize label!

Glad that you like this one. Thanks for saying too !

Thank you so very much for your comment. I am really pleased that you like this one. 'Glad Rag Doll' is one of my favourite songs.

Thank you for your comment. I really do like your description.
