Excerpt from POPULAR AMERICAN RECORDING PIONEERS: 1895-1925, by Tim Gracyk:

The Columbia Quartet was the same as the Peerless Quartet though the Columbia name was used earlier than the Peerless name. The name was used on records by the beginning of the century, with the exact identification of singers on every record being difficult for the first few years. Later, from around 1906 through 1910, the Columbia Quartet was stable and consisted of Albert Campbell (first tenor--a higher tenor voice than the second tenor's), Henry Burr (second tenor), bass Frank C. Stanley, and baritone Steve Porter. (Before 1906, another baritone sang in the quartet--probably Arthur Collins on most records though Bob Roberts can be heard on "My Dinah," Columbia 452, later A500.)

Hello Jan.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:03am
Jan Turkenburg:

good morning, WR

David in California:

Hello, Jan. In the sixties, when Tiny Tim would mention Henry Burr, it seemed odd to me that someone would be talking about music that was over 50 years old. And now I spend a lot of time talking about the music of the sixties.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:06am
Jan Turkenburg:

Hi David! I feel the same. Perception of time is a strange thing.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:18am
WR:

Lots of minstrel race humor on rheir recordings. Most about African-Americans but heard some Irish digs as well.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:19am
Jan Turkenburg:

Both must have been very common back then...
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:21am
WR:

When I first found a 78 (in about 72) of the Peerless Quartet I thought they were African-American. I had so much to learn.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:22am
Jan Turkenburg:

we can shake hands
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:22am
WR:

Hah, still have so much to learn.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:23am
Jan Turkenburg:

yup, same here...
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:24am
Jan Turkenburg:

Considered buying that Tim Gracyk book, but it's not cheap...
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:25am
WR:

I have a compilation of the Fisk singers which I've only listened to a little.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:26am
Jan Turkenburg:

Ah, I just discovered it in the local library's catalogue! Didn't expect that.
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:27am
WR:

Unrelated, I am surprised that I find no well done compilation of Harry Lauder.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:27am
Jan Turkenburg:

I found a lot of his on spotify though
Avatar 🎸 Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:30am
WR:

There are several issuws but looking at reviews i see people complaining of little or misleading info on the packaging.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:31am
Jan Turkenburg:

ok, I must admit I haven't listened to those spotify albums yet either
  8:55am
David in California:

It's interesting to think that the New York City they're describing is the same one O. Henry was writing about.
I've enjoyed the show. Thank you, Jan.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 8:56am
Jan Turkenburg:

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 9:06am
