One of my favorite Blue Amberols is him singing BPOE.edisonplayer.

In my opinion the most iconic Nat Wills recording is/was "No news - or what killed the dog?"

I agree with Curt and also have the record in my collection.

“No News or What Killed The Dog” has to be his most popular record. But my favorite is “Hortense At The Skating Rink” on the 12” black label Victor record. I first heard that on the Dr. Demento show. Later found it a during a record hunting safari.
