What an absolute treasure to have that beautiful gramaphone. It's in such amazing condition, and the sound is spectacular, considering the record is nearly a hundred years old. Thank you for showing us around it.

Listening to this song I almost expect my Father coming through the front singing this song.

What fun ! I have smaller, shorter 1926 Brunswick gramophone. An old friend gifted it, was kept in his old one family farm home. When his grandparents bought it, the thing was never moved outside of that house until I moved it 95 years later. Speed governor was broken, I shipped the works off to a vintage crank phono repair specialist in Michigan. Works great now. I get a real kick out of not even one electron moving to make all that sound. No batteries, no software, no network connection. Just old, old record grooves causing the needle to vibrate and the physics of the horn design as amplifier. Amazingly simple. Much fun, thanks for posting.

This takes me back to the early 1950s here in the UK, winding up my step-father's gramophone and putting a
new needle in the head of its heavy old pickup to play one of his numerous 78rpm discs. Great stuff - thanks!

What a lovely, jolly tune from so long ago.
My Father was born in 1929. Sadly no longer with us. He would of loved to of heard this song and seen this beautiful gramophone.
Thank you so much for sharing with us this song and the marvellous condition of such a gorgeous gramophone.

Cleveland Indians used to play this song in the 60s at their stadium after a win. I barely remember it, didn't hear it very often...

Un auténtico tesoro. Una maravilla. 😮 😀

The recent purchase of a 1925 Victrola Credenza brought me to your channel. Wonderful collection.

[muffsmercury]

Never heard Reisman's version until now. You got great sound in your player. Almost like seeing the band in person.
