“There’s yer PIE - ANNA, RABBIT! NOW LET’S SEE YA PLAY IT!” - Yosemite Sam to Bugs Bunny, Looney Toons!

Geraldine Farrar, Victrola Record #87025

seen at Dusty Groove this morning - you have to take an entire box - as is & unknown

Little Wonder record No. 1195.

This was a random find inside a pile of records. It’s ALWAYS a rabbit hole, but the story is very interesting!

It almost sounds like Harry Lauder, to me… anyone recognize it? I haven’t “dug deep” to find out.

I did read over the Wikipedia article for it: very good description!

Long and short of it: looks like it’s made for kids, but it was actually made for people with a mind on their money- economy! 1¢ apiece, and sold in music stores and Five-N-Dimes (5¢ and 10¢ stores in early USA). Interesting, quick read on the article!

Have a great day, thank you for looking or even just passing by 🙂

This is played on a (likely) dark “fumed oak” cabinet VV-XIV (earliest design style), ~late 1911-early 1912.

P.s. sorry for the poor video quality- I had to lower the pixels for size

Used but still it is the Carter Family.
