Many of the early recordings, like this one, were of vaudeville performers. This is a 1907 recording of RED WING by Dudley and Mcdonough. I can just imagine a troop of vaudeville performers arrivng in a small town and performing this kind of material to crowds of country folk to whom this would have been probably the finest entertainment they had ever seen. Then to have this on a record you can play in your own home, truly a marvel of the new 20th century! Enjoy!
