Here are two more selections in an ongoing series featuring recordings from the collection of my friend Christian In Dallas who has loaned me a few boxes of his records to digitize and share on this blog.<\/p>\n

“Dollar Princess Two Step” features tunes from the 1907 Leo Fall<\/a> operetta The Dollar Princess<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Irish King March” was composed by bandleader Arthur Pryor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Black Diamonds recorded many dozens of records for the British HMV label.\u00a0 I am guessing that they were an in-house studio band – but that is only a guess.\u00a0\u00a0 According to the CHARM database<\/a> the conductor on “Irish King March” was Eli Hudson<\/a> who was a famous flute player of the era.\u00a0\u00a0 In additon to Hudson, other Black Diamonds recording sessions were conducted by violinist George W. Byng.<\/p>\n

While both of these selections were recorded in 1910, the catalog number on this double sided pressing dates to 1912.\u00a0\u00a0 I suspect that there is a strong possibility that both selections were previously issued in 1910 on separate one-sided records.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
