I just couldn't resist such a cute tiny four inch Durium record. The song is ridiculous and very short. I thought some of you might be interested in this odd little thing.

In 1921 Columbia sent equipment to record the Coon-Sanders Novelty Orchestra to Kansas City. They recorded 4 sides, but only this one was released. It would be a few years later before they recorded again and then for Victor.

I also found a really terrific record that would have been in the album. I hope you enjoy this. It was fun for me to find these items and to make the video.

Of the 10 private recordings from the 1st session in 1915, not released and privately held by Ford, two have surfaced recently, likely from copies given to local schools, “Lola” (number 4 sequentially) and “Believe Me”(number 6 sequentially).  Sadly, someone has glued an inner-plastic sleeve into “Believe Me” and it will not fit on a traditional mandrel for transfer.  We are working to get this transferred, but attached is a crude acoustic transfer of “Lola”.

 

Is anyone else aware of other examples of these ten recordings that can be posted to this thread?Lola.thumb.png.d43bb42d3f4370e97863f06f72f92b45.pngBelieve-Me-a.thumb.png.76ed60b0c745753cf4b196cde8cdad66.pngBelieve-Me-b.thumb.png.91f6c324fa034ebd2829994f185722f8.png

The Dixie Shoe Steppers were a dance band created to promote Dixie Shoes the main selling point of which was a $3 pair equivalent to any $4 shoes, see attached ad pdf.  The Dixie Shoe Steppers recorded a series of programs which were distributed to radio stations in the midwestern states on 12" records pressed by Brunswick.  WLW in Cincinnati, Ohio featured a Dixie Shoe Steppers program on Saturday nights at 7pm local time.  A listing of shows recorded in 1929 may be found here https://adp.library.ucsb.edu/index.php/mastertalent/detail/312341/Dixie_Shoe_Steppers and there were others recorded before and after that.

 

The recording attached here is matrix XE 31359 recorded on 10/28/29 for the National Radio Advertising  Co.  The flip side of this disc is blank.  It is not one of the selections on the B side of the Sunny Meadows lp on Sunbeam records.

It’s energetic and helps you imagine snow and a sleigh with silver bells. The record is in remarkable shape for it’s age. I hope it brightens your Christmas season.
