The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

A friend was asking me if I had ever heard of a cylinder record called maybe "Rainy Day" announcing or describing a horse race.

I searched here, the UCSB site, the National Juke Box site, and finally the interweb: nothing.

Does that sound familiar to anyone here?

Thanks! -Michael

Maybe it's this... Derby Day In Dixie

There were several funny (filthy) youtubes of contemporary announcing.
Here's a fun one with real horse names...
