Here are two more very early recordings I added to older posts. Some of these additions come from suggestions. Others, such as these two, are records I stumbled upon along the journey of writing this blog. The Bert Williams song, in particular, was a revelation - and gives me hope that I will never run out of good music to discover. Enjoy!
Stay tuned: I still have a few more that need to be added from the 1920s and early '30s, as well as tons of new ones from the late '30s and beyond...

A Few Additions (1921-1935)
Hello, everyone. Sorry for being away so long. I wasn't lost, I just had a lot going on at the beginning of this year, as I got married, moved, went on a honeymoon and worked on some big projects for my day job. But I have been writing, and I will begin posting to this blog again soon.
In the meantime, I have gone back and added a few recordings I missed in my first pass. (Thank you to everyone who has made suggestions - and please keep doing so!) In case you missed them, here are links to the posts I added them to:
