My mother told me that the gramophone her parents had, the horn was underneath the turntable. A person had to be careful not to wind the spring too tight or the spring would pop. Your gramophone had very good sound quality. It appears you spent much time getting this old gem to excellent working order. The sound, for its time period, is magnified very well. The antique key looked very familiar in the keyhole of the gramophone. We had one very similar on a chain with other antique keys.
I heard this for the first time for Horatio's Drive, too. I have it as an MP3 file. Came by here because I woke up this morning with the song going through my head.
thank you for posting!! someone referred to this song in a story they wrote. I wondered if the song existed. it does!! brilliant song!! beautiful phonograph too!!
@103056mhg This is one of my all time favorite's as well. Unfortunately this is the only copy of the Victor version that I have in my possession. Should I happen to acquire a duplicate I would consider it. In the meantime "Happy Hunting", and thanks for watching. Victrolaman

"I have a daughter who's hungry for love / she loves to ride everyday." Gotta love those old timey innuendos.

I've been looking for this record! A copy for myself.
What a beautiful machine, the phono that is!
Recorded on November 14, 1913.
I heard this song on the doctor demento show on KMET LosAngeles in the 1970s this song played on the top 10 most requested songs a lot.
I remember. I listened to Dr. Demento every Sunday night. He also played quite a few Billy Murray recordings.
According to record historian Jim Walsh, Murray was a car enthusiast, to put it mildly. He must have had a ball recording this.
I heard this for the first time for Horatio's Drive, too. I have it as an MP3 file. Came by here because I woke up this morning with the song going through my head.
One more year (or maybe less!) and this record is 100 years old!
I have this record

Billy Murray was FUNNY!
Very cool... and a pretty Sonora phonograph as well!
@wps1977 "Even in 1913?" Domestic production was probably close to 500,000 by then.

Hello Bruce, I´d also like to have that record, please let me know if you wish to sell it sometime :)
Senora - "Clear as a Bell" and it sounds like it too. Nice.
This tune inspired a wonderful Hal Roach-Harold Lloyd short from 1920 that can also be found on this site in a beautiful pristine print.
I really want this record! Where can I find it?
