What Kind Of An American Are You?

I thought I would post something Patriotic for this Memorial Day Weekend:

Here I have my 1901 Zon-O-Phone Model-A.
Playing Emerson Record No. 7214, What Kind Of An American Are You?
Baritone Solo Sung by Harry Evans with Orchestra Accompaniment.
Composers: A. Von Tilzer - Brown - McCarron.
“One of the most Popular Patriotic Selections of the present day”, circa 1917

Songs about Patriotism were often used to entice young men to sign up in times of war.
From what I can tell, little has changed, except now they use Video Games.

I hope you like it, Bob S.
