One of the greatest cornetists of the time, Herbert L. Clarke played for the nation's top
bands: Gilmore, Herbert, and Sousa.
However, as a featured artist, he recorded just a handful of two-minute wax cylinders
for Edison.
Often, when a wax cylinder of this period was a big seller, the masters used to make molded copies would become exhausted and new masters made.
In this recording, Clarke and Leo Zimmerman were called upon to make a new master for this
popular selection which was originally released in April 1903 featuring Bohumir Kryl & Leroy Haines.
