Crankin' It Up



Harry Lauder could really belt one out to the old megaphone. I looked this disc up on Victor Discography, and Side B was recorded in 1910. This side was probably recorded about the same time. The volume was maxing out my microphone, so I had to use a soft tone needle to record both sides of this record. Side A is 'I Love To Be A Sailor,' and it is a testament to the changes in humor and entertainment over a century. The flip side is 'We Parted On The Shore.' I will post it next week, and that will finish our series of Harry Lauder records.
