Has your wife seen the Simpsons episode where Bart sings Teddy Bear's Picnic? Not exactly a "record" for her to collect, but a surprising instance of a really old tune showing up in a "modern" setting.epigramophone wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 4:13 am Thank you for posting this.
My wife collects children's records and in particular the Teddy Bear's Picnic. She currently has 27 different 78rpm versions, but yours is the earliest we have heard on disc. Her earliest is a 1912 Winner by the Louisiana Symphony Orchestra. A collector friend has the Blue Amberol cylinder but does not want to sell it.
Only the earliest recordings seem to have included the growling effects. It was not until 1932, when the words were written by the British lyricist Jimmy Kennedy, that it's popularity really took off.
You're probably better off for never having watched.

I am currently tidying up some of my (scattered around the gramophone room floor) 78 records and saw this one - and remembered this thread.epigramophone wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 4:13 am Thank you for posting this.
