Help with song identification on Berliner disc #0836
Posted: Sun Mar 01, 2026 8:45 pm
I’m trying to figure out the song titles being played in the medley on the Berliner Gramophone record titled “Street Piano No. 2,” record #0836. I believe it was recorded December 18, 1899.
I know that the last song in the medley is “Whistling Rufus.”
The street piano of course is NOT a piano, but is a hand cranked barrel organ, popular mid-19th to early 20th century.
There are two copies of this disc on YouTube. I believe they’re both the same recordings, just with different filtering. Here’s one of the links:

Any help would be appreciated.
