The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

For anyone interested I have just posted a video on my YouTube channel featuring the first of several Edison Concert cylinder recordings that I'm hoping to feature played on my Edison Concert Phonograph. This one features Will F. Denny with "At The Pan-I-Marry-Can", a comic song about the 1901 Pan-American Exposition held in Buffalo, New York from May 1st through November 2nd of that year.

This is one of at least three Edison Concert cylinders pertaining to the 1901 Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo that were included in the 48 Edison Concert cylinders with the Edison Concert Phonograph that I recently purchased. The 2nd cylinder I'm hoping to post on my channel is: "Put Me Off At Buffalo" by S.H. Dudley. It is an equally entertaining Edison Concert cylinder.

I hope that a few of you who opt to watch the video will find some enjoyment in it.

I have also included the song lyrics scrolling with the recording (not so much fun to get the timing just right!). It's best to view the video on YouTube with a larger size screen.

Below is the video link:

Great cylinder in great condition. Thanks for sharing.

Andreas

Nicely done video and pleasant song, thanks for posting!

Doug, thank you for sharing this! As a native Buffalonian, I enjoy anything that has to do with the Pan American Exposition. That was a great cylinder in great condition. I hope you post the others, I am looking forward to being able to hear them.

Nate

Great job on the lyrics. Sometimes I struggle to understand the words, although over the years I have gotten better at it.

Thank you Andreas, Carlos, Nate and Keith for your gracious comments on the video. I'm pleased that you enjoyed it.
