Not My Victrola



Pax41 has posted a lovely rendition of the old favorite, "Let Me Call You Sweetheart." This song was published in 1910, and this performance by the Shannon Quartet was recorded in 1926, after electric microphones replaced the horns used in acoustic recording. That's lucky for us, because we get to hear a performance of this great song by people who still know how to sing to the back row in a theater, but with much better sound quality than was available just a few years earlier.
