Crankin' It Up



Tonight we have a little change in pace with the 'Hesitaion Waltz', from an Edison disc. We have been sampling quite a few Edisons, and have come up with the theory that Edison might be the culprit who killed Vaudeville. 'A Study In Mimicry' is so bad that I doubt I will ever listen to it again, and the flip side was someone imiatating farm animals; it was no better. I think the True Blue fan club would run for the exits if I posted that record.

This record is nice tune, but I notice some pitch changes in it that were either recorded into it at the factory, or the record has some draggy places. The machine was sufficiently wound, so I don't think it is the fault of the player. We have a lot more Edisons, and we will share a few more before we come back to the old Brunswick.
