"Happy, That's All" - Van Avery (The Original Rastus) (1915 Edison)

The other side is "On The 5:15" by Pete Murray. From the sleeve:
"Van Avery, 'The Original Rastus', as he styles himself, has for many years been one of vaudeville’s most popular 'burnt-corn' comedians. His specialty is black-face comedy, minstrel work, and darky recitations, and in his character of 'Rastus' he is famous throughout the United States.
This nonsense recitation, that Van Avery calls 'Happy, That’s All', he wrote himself. It is similar to 'Just Plain Dog', another original recitation with which he made a great hit. Van Avery’s success is mainly due to his droll manner, and to his clear, careful enunciation. Every word is plainly heard, and not one of his quips ever misses fire. Altogether this is an exceptionally enjoyable record of its kind."
