VictrolaMan posted this timely song just a few days ago, on Burns Day; just in time for our annual Groundhog Day celebration. VictrolaMan's notes: "

Here is Edison Recording Artist, Bob Roberts singing the "Woodchuck Song" which begs the question: "How much wood could a Woodchuck chuck, if a Woodchuck could chuck wood?" . The Song, composed by Davis & Morse, was originally introduced in the 1903 Broadway Production of "The Runaways" by Vaudeville performer, and Stage Actress and Singer Fay Templeton. The record is an early 1904 Edison two minute black wax Gold Moulded cylinder, and the Edison Phonograph is a 1910 Edison Model 1A Amberola, the very first internal horn Edison Phonograph, which was first shipped to dealers in February of 1910. The 1A was the only Edison Amberola that was capable of playing both the early two minute Black Wax Cylinders as well as the new Edison 4 minute Amberol black wax cylinder records that were first produced in 1909."
