it seems on most edison cylinders, there was a certain guy that announced the title. does anyone know who he was? it was pretty much always him but in some, the singer announces the title themselves. thanks :)

That was a very good question! You could probably say that his was the most recorded voice on Edison cylinder records.

P.S. I'll admit that I first wanted to say it was "Don Pardo" :lol:
