I really should follow your example and feature my other two machines now and then! I am in Chicago - I am guessing you are on the east coast somewhere...11 years ago

That was often the case with new musical numbers from Broadway shows; record potential "hits" (or medleys) before they were officially introduced in the shows. Cohan was pretty savvy about that...you're welcome.11 years ago

Interesting that it was recorded before the Musical debuted on Broadway, and before the record was released later on in 1906. Thanks for the information and for watching.11 years ago
