1st RECORDING OF: Ragtime Cowboy Joe - Bob Roberts (1912)

[@joelacindaterry1582]

When I was a little boy, my grandfather would sing this song to me. Thank you for sharing it! It brings back fabulous memories.

[@codex3048]

Very impressed you excavated this ancient artifact. Two minutes from 1912, preserved forever.

[@pgh45rpms]

Nice that Bob sings the seldom heard introduction.

For whatever it's worth, Arizona became a state in 1912. Maybe there's a connection, maybe there's not.

[@juliusseizure591]

Yes, the idea was to capitalize on both Arizona's statehood and the ragtime craze.

I have also heard a recording on You Tube called "They Start the Victrola", sung by Billy Murray that was done in 1914

I discovered this recording today, I already knew this song in the voice of the Andrews sisters

From The Two Ronnies (BBC TV, 1970s): And finally, the public are warned to be on the lookout for Joseph Gomez, a Spaniard, last heard of living in Tooting, whose mother was a nun in Barcelona. A one-time flautist with a symphony orchestra, he is wanted for looting in Haifa, where he worked on a farm. The police urge people to look out for a Haifa-looting fluting Tooting son of a nun from Barcelona, part-time ploughboy Joe.

How did a number called "Ragtime Violin" do that was recorded in 1911

[@michaeldanello3966]

Per the label this was the B side. What was the A side please ?

[@the78prof72]

It was "That Slippery Slide Trombone" by The American Quartet.

[@imiscellaneous9980]

@@the78prof72 2 different acts would be on the same single?

[@the78prof72]

@@imiscellaneous9980 Yes, very common back in the early days.

Victor released this record a bit fast? Of course we could be wrong.

That's punk af.

I like the translation.

[@steamstream777]

This could work for red dead redemption 1

[@caldadextra2063]

I’d say this should be our state song, but since Wyoming already nabbed it for their fight song, I must rest my case

[@notGatorDreams]

Go pokes!
