The Artists
Harry Lauder - Known primarily for Scottish songs and comedy, Harry
Lauder
is very well known even today, and there are a number of websites
devoted
to him. He is, to some extent, an acquired taste, but his compassion
for
people and devotion to entertainment are legendary. Long before Bob
Hope,
in WWI, Harry mounted a piano on a truck and was driven to the front
lines
to
entertain the British and allied troops. Many of his songs take
traditional
song
melodies and rework the lyrics. Songs in this collecton: The Kilty
Lads,
It's
Nice to Get Up in the Mornin' (But it's nicer to lie in bed), She's the
Lass
for
Me, I've Something in the Bottle for the Morning (fu' the noo'),
Roamin' in
the
Gloamin'.
Evan Williams - (1872-1918) - a tenor (born Ffrangeon Davies to Welsh
immigrant parents), he gave more than 1,000 concerts in the U.S. and
many
more in Britain. Loch Lomond, in this collection, was a hit in 1912 in
the
U.S.
Charles D'Almaine (1874-1943)- Born in Britain, Charles became first
violinist
for the New York Metropolitan Opera. He had several hit recordings of
folk
music and reels, and served as accompanist for other artists.
Geraldine Farrar - (1882-1967) - A famous American-born opera singer.
She had 10 major hit singles between 1907 and 1916, ranging from opera
to
My Old Kentucky Home.
George MacFarlane - (1878-1932) - Canadian who became famous starring
in Gilbert & Sullivan operettas.
Marie Narelle (1870 - 1941)- An Australian singer (born Molly Ryan)
from
New South Wales. She also recorded quite a bit for Edison and other
labels.
I have been unable to find out anything about the
following artists:
John Kimmel - He recorded a number of pieces for
Edison and other companies, but
I know nothing about him.
Sandy Shaw - ? Albert Weiderhold - ? Leopold Mozine - ?
The information reported here about the musicians
from Pop Memories 1890-1954 by
Joel Whitburn.
The Project
This cd collects public domain Irish/Scottish music from cylinders and
flat
acoustic discs recorded before 1923. All of those with a label listed
are
from
my collection and were recorded electronically. Those without a label
(only
a
song title and artist) appeared on collections I have. They were
recorded
with
a microphone in front of a wooden horn, played by an antique
phonograph.
My technique is to use a modern cartridge to extract as much music as
is
available in the recording. The former technique gives a better sense
of how
the recording sounded when it was played on the acoustic equipment when
it first came out; my technique allows for reproduction of music that
was
not
heard in the original playing of the song because the playback
equipment was
incapable of reproducing those frequencies. You may notice more sense
of
presence with the technique I used as well. I altered the microphone
recordings through some noise reduction and adding some harmonics to
the recording.
