Jack Charman used the pseudonym "Howard Mann"? I'll have to remember that. Jack Charman 78s just aren't found in America (in my experience). But he was professional in all he did.
@tiga4180 7 күн бұрын
From the limited research on him, he appears to have had around 100 pseuds! Not all his doing by any means (though it must have confused the taxman), as he appears on many cheaper labels & re issue labels, in which the vocalist would have little or no say in the allocated pseud. He does not appear to have recorded for The Gramophone Company, but he did for its cheaper & short lived subsidiary 'Cinch' hence he would be unlikely to have appeared on Victor. His very 'British' style may also have prevented his discs being thought marketable in the US. I posted a Pathe Actuelle of 'California Here I Come' which shows his very British style. He also appears on some Pathe centre start discs. The 1911 census records him as a singer for that company, which is very much the 'tip of the iceberg' re his recorded output. Fortunately, his distinctive voice makes him recognisable, despite the minefield of pseuds! If you wish to research, his real name was 'John Lewis Charman'

In 1915, Jack Charman was first to record "Mademoiselle from Armentières". He made some 78s with Miss Nancy Charman (a sister? daughter?) and worked under an endless number of aliases, including: Albert Collins, Alf Collins, Archie Munroe, Arthur Franklin, Arthur Lovell, Arthur Page, B. Garland, Bert Bartley, Bob Clifford, Bob Goldin, C. Laurence, Charles Holland, Charles Lester, Donald McLean, Edgar Trevor, F. G. Marsden, Frank Carter, Frank Curtis, Frank Miller, Frank Reade, Frank Williams, Fred Cooper, Fred Elliot, Fred Haywood, Fred Marsden, Fred Maxwell, George Christian, H. Wade, Harry Cove, Harry Glandford, Harry Long, Jack Hilton, Jack Manning, Jack Starr, Jim Donovan, Joseph Newman, Leslie Mayne, Leslie Milton, Mr. Arthur Boyton, Murray Johnson, Pete Rastus, Peter Maxwell, Phil Gordon, Rastas Brown, Sam Stoker, Stanford Bryce, Stanley Kirkby, Ted Lorimer, Ted Yorke, Tom Campbell, Tom Jury, Walter Miller and Warwick Green. I imagine Rastus Brown was a Coon alter-ego. Would love to hear his "Yiddle On Your Fiddle Play Some Rag-Time".

The ocarina I had back in the 70s was nothing like as high in pitch as this. Was he overblowing to get higher octaves? One of the variations here sounds like Mongolian throat singing.
@tiga4180 22 күн бұрын
Ocarinas come in many sizes, from soprano (poss. sopranino) to bass. My experience is overblowing wouldn't work. My ocarina was a Langley six hole, of globular shape. The professional instrument is pear or elongated teardrop shape, with a hole for each finger. Some are even two or three ocarinas built into one body, in which the player slides to a different mouthpiece to extend the range. In all my Tapiero recordings, he appears to play the higher pitched version. There's limited information on him on the 'net.

@tiga4180 Ай бұрын
Pure music hall alright & definitely pre radio broadcast, being recorded 21st April 1910! That said, some boffin back then DID manage to transmit speech (as opposed to morse) via a 'spark gap' transmitter. It got little interest, due to lack of receivers to hear it 🙂Thought the white spot was adhesive to prevent a crack spreading. Closer look revealed it as typing corrector. Perhaps someone wanted to count the rpm? Congrats on observation my friend!

@@tiga4180 What hastened Sr.'s demise was two bouts of flu, in 1918 and '19. This was a show biz family with multiple generations of stars. Apparently George Jr., whose first name WAS George while dad was James, is considered THE George Formby. Well, he's certainly THE George Booth.

@@AnnieVanAuken From all I've read this wasn't a showbiz family. George Senior (James Booth) was the son of an alcoholic prostitute, with a string of men in her life. On achieving fame, he forbade his children from seeing his act, to deter them from following in his footsteps. "One fool in the family is enough" he'd say. His death followed being taken ill at the Empire Theatre, Newcastle. Rather than go to hospital, he chose to travel to his home in Warrington. He & his wife hired a private railway carriage, for the trip, but sadly the heating didn't work & being February, it was a long cold journey. He died at his home shortly afterwards. He had spoken of retirement, which may have prolonged his life. Here, he tells of music hall life: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWbYioili7B6pNUsi=LExP6GQmg3cyfXgZ The audience must have laughed at his boasts of physical strength, whilst his stage persona was that of a stupid & frail bronchitis sufferer. What's always puzzled me is how his frail voice could be heard in the theatre, or by the recording horn

An early Formby soundalike, perhaps originally recorded as a single sider. Later Formby impressions on Zonophone/The Twin, were by Harry Fay, under the pseud of Herbert Forman. Zonophone eventually secured Formby Senr in what appears to have been an exclusive contract. The Flip is Harry Fay (as Jack Benson) singing I'm Shy Mary Ellen. Not a bad impression of Jack Pleasants, but 'KZbin' has put it in 'Shorts' When I get time I'll re post as a normal YT video.

Absolutely impressive! What would be cool is if you made a half-hour video called 21st Century Music Hall. The piece would include performances on 10 different machines, all songs that were popular in the English equivalent of our vaudeville. We start with a wide angle view of 10 machines. You come on in a Music Hall outfit, or maybe just a top hat. Go to grammy #1, start the 78, walk off, zoom in on that one player, then zoom out so you can start victrola #2, etc. It'd be easier of course if you had a camera operator to do the zooms. :?D

@tiga4180 2 ай бұрын
Have had a listen & doesn't sound like Kirkby to me. Stanley Kirkby appears to have only a handful of pseuds, Walter Miller, being perhaps the most frequent. Being a highly paid recording artist he may have had quite some say re. pseuds, by contrast, Jack Charman had around 100! Re issue labels were perhaps the most notorious for allocating pseuds, sometimes being so careless as to giving the same pseud to 2 or more different artists!
