Was this on Vocalion?

And not to be too picky, isn't always Mr Gallagher and Mr Shean?

I always found it helpful to include label and catalogue information with my YouTube videos.
It's a useful reference for dating purposes and so people know what to look for if they'd like to find a copy themselves.
I never included matrix numbers, but was occasionally asked for them in regards to take numbers etc.

Paul Whiteman does a good version of this one.

I don’t receive comments on my videos, unless I post something inaccurate with the title?


Here is a thought? What about the video, or the recording itself?

Edison called it "Mister Gallagher and Mister Shean".
The sheet music I have though, calls it "Oh Mister Gallagher and Mister Shean", but I've yet to see the "Oh" included in the title on any disc record label, and I don't think any other cylinder releases exist??

The recording is great imo.
It's always been one of my favorite tunes.
It actually sounds similar in some ways to the Edison recording by the "Broadway Dance Orchestra".
I think this version is a bit better than Edison's though.

I have to admit I seldom actually watch the video when I listen to any old recordings on YouTube, unless it's a performance from an old film.
I prefer to just listen to the music while I do other things.

That said, from what little I did see of the accompanying video, it looks like you did a great job.
I never had the time nor patience to find pictures, then sit down a put together a video like yours, and I'm sure your efforts are appreciated by those who do actually watch what's on screen, as well as appreciate you sharing your record collection as I do.

It's definitely got to be more entertaining than my videos that just show a record spinning round and round lol.

The title of this thread as been fixed! HAPPY?


Semantics

A fun video, but not a single picture of Ed Gallagher OR Al Shean?

There was a much later version named Mr Crosby & Mr Mercer, by those two great guys...
