"She's Gettin More Like The White Folks Every Day" Played On 1899 Edison Concert Phonograph

[@luvmyrecords]

Fantastic! I think this is the first time I've seen a concert cylinder and concert machine in action, and it sounds beautiful. If I may, I hear, "...now she must have *a humming bird's heart*..." Thanks so much for posting this!

What FANTASTIC Cylinder! I have only seen one of these 5" Cylinder Record`s! This sounds very early! I Love this type of Music from that time!

Very unique song for sure put a smile on my face LOL Loved it.

A wonderful duo, and I highly recommend Bert Williams' 4 CDs worth of material, available from Archeophone Records.

This song was recorded when Marshall Taylor was America's greatest athlete. Taylor raced against Frank Kramer and left Kramer in the dust after Kramer said that he was going to "trim the n----r".

WOW!!!! You have an amazing collection. I love these machine's.

Love that tinkling piano. Dan W Quinn and Will F Denny are my favorites from the brown wax era.

Interesting that I have this record labelled as "She's Actin' Mo' Like Dem White Folks Ev'ry Day" Same song, just with the dialect spelling.

Where I'm from they call the Hood/Swag dialect.

GOOD JOB

[@charliejudkins5328]

Thank you so much for posting this fantastic record... but why did you skip the announcement? I always love to hear those.

[@MusicBoxBoy]

The reason for my starting the cylinder just after the announcement was because more than 100 years ago someone apparently (and surely accidentally) lowered the carriage mounted recording assembly cutter onto the surface of the spinning cylinder thus obliterating the announcement. This dug a shallow trench into the cylinder surface where the announcement had been and you can actually see the trench as the cylinder spins in some angles of the video. I did not want to injure my reproducer so I opted to start the cylinder just after the announcement.

[@charliejudkins5328]

Ah, well thanks for clearing that up. You are really posting some beautiful recordings these days, thanks again!
