His Notes:
"This well known song was composed in 1911. The music was written by Nathaniel Davis Ayer and lyrics by Seymour Brown. It remained popular throughout the years of WWI and was part of the music played by the band on the "Titanic". It has been used in many different movies and even in some Looney Tunes cartoons such as "Hair-Raising Hare" This is a recut of a roll produced by Playrite music rolls. Enjoy some of the sounds of popular music from 100 years ago, as it might have been heard in someone's home. The piano is a 1923 Harrington player."
That was very nice, and Oh You Beautiful Doll is one of my favorite old-time songs. But before you start crooning this song to clinch the deal with your new girlfriend, have a listen to the next song.

His Notes:
"Here's another favorite Edison Disc from my collection. This is the Golden Gate Orchestra with Jack Kaufman on vocals. It's a delightful jazzy spoof indicating the plight of the fellows in the 1920's trying to figure out how to find ("Pick") a girl ("Chick") with all the ways that ladies had to disguise their age, "...gray haired Granny and Sister Sue...I can't tell 'em apart can you?". The phonograph is a very early Edison model A-250 with the button type start/stop and side cabinet sound vents usually found only on the earliest Edison Amberola cylinder Phonographs. I temporarily replaced (for better sound) the original reproducer with a rebuilt Edisonic reproducer in original nickel finish. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I always have."
