can anybody name this song?

on the website, there is a thing you can play where it shows a cylinder and if you click on it, it plays.
I've had zero luck finding this song and it kind of sounds like Will Oakland but I'm not sure. nothing promising came from any searches involving will Oakland.

To me it sounds more like Dan Quinn than Oakland. Oakland's voice is higher than this.

Why not contact the company that has the website and ask them who and what it is?

It's definitely not Will Oakland. He didn't begin recording until 1908, long after the browns wax era came to an end.

I don't know the title unfortunately, but the singer is definitely Byron G. Harlan.

It's definitely Harlan.edisonplayer.

The 1899 song is entitled, "I Wonder If She's Waiting" and was written by Harry von Tilzer.

I could only find another version of it in this British Minstrel record from around 1910
