Not My Victrola: Memorial Day Weekend

In observance of the 150 years that have passed since our Civil War began, let's listen to a couple of old recordings of 'The Vacant Chair.' The first one is an instrumental version, published by Columbia in 1906 and uploaded by cdbpbx.



EdmundStAustell shares a 1915 recording of The 'Vacant Chair' by John McCormack, which was probably on a Victor Red Label record. I think this upload is taken from a CD, and Mr. Austell has disabled embedding, so you will need to click here to go to YouTube and listen.
