This is Hardy Williamson (tenor). Your particular cylinder is not listed in Allan Sutton's Edison Blue Amberol Records: A Discography (1912-1929) (Mainspring, 2005). I'm guessing that your cylinder was directly recorded years earlier, perhaps originally issued on a four-minute wax Amberol, as you indicated that it sounded so good (not dubbed?). I'm not certain because I don't have a complete listing of Edison four-minute wax Amberols to check, but Williamson's version was definitely not released on Blue Amberol in the U.S.; Vernon Dalhart sang it on BA 3333, dubbed from disc. It is also possible that he recorded it directly on Blue Amberol, but not released in the U.S.-Ryan
