Columbia Grand Cylinder #7141 “Love’s Old Sweet Song”

Post by rgordon939 »

Another Columbia Grand Cylinder #7141 “Love’s Old Sweet Song” by J W Myers. Cylinder makes an odd noise at the very end.

This is certainly a good advertisement for the wide-diameter cylinder. I wish my brown-wax cylinders (standard gauge) could sound like this with a small reproducer and horn!

May I say that I feel it is being played a little too fast? Myers is always listed as a baritone, but the voice here has a decidedly tenor quality.
