The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

“On This Day in the History of Recorded Sound…”

July 8, 1872: Born: Harry Von Tilzer (born Aaron Gumbinsky in Detroit, MI) was an immensely successful composer and songwriter. His string of hits began in 1898 when he composed My Old New Hampshire Home, which sold 2 million sheet music copies. In 1902, he formed his own music publishing company which was co-managed with his younger brother, Albert, whose successful song-writing career includes Take Me Out to the Ballgame.

He also wrote a favorite of mine, "The Cubanola Glide."

Thank you for the "On This Day" posts! They are very informative.

You're very welcome, Charlie. I'm glad you enjoy them.

His brother Albert also wrote a favorite of mine, "My Cutey's Due At Two To Two To-day". Thanks as always for the post, phonogfp!
