Irish tunes from blue amberola cylinders

Post by celticguitar666 »

Here are some Irish tunes from some cylinders I just got I did some more tuning up of my Amberola 30 like the spring for the horn I found it was missing when I decided to do some interior cleaning and painting of the horn much better sound now I think louder and smoother operation

That recording of "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" made me a Van Brunt fan over 40 years ago. His voice on a Diamond Disk is rock steady and silky-smooth.

Although there is a lot of Irish material on Edison, some of my favorites are Irish accordian solos by John Kimmel, "The Irish Dutchman". His playing style was crisp and machine-gun fast. His strings of triplets are amazing.
