Theodore Roosevelt on Victor 78 and Blue Amberol Cylinders

Here are several Theodore Roosevelt Speeches I own on Edison Cylinders and Victor 12 inch 78rpm records. These were recorded around 1912 when he was  running for president against William Taft and Woodrow Wilson as the leader of teh Progressive Party (aka The Bull Moose Party)

The video below is the The Liberty of the People played on an acoustic Victor VV-IV Phonograph with a Victor #2 Reproducer:

Kuu Ipo Ika Hee Pue One Medley

Kuu Ipo Ika Hee Pue One Medley by S. Siegel & Marie Caveny

1919 Edison Blue Amberol Cylinder #3724 ( Played on an acoustic Amberola 30 phonograph)

The name of the song is Hawaiian. The song sounds more like a banjo number. apparently it’s Mandolin and ukulele duet.. The record skips a little in there somewhere.

Sol Hoopii and His Novelty Quartette perform King Kamehameha b/w The Lei Vendor

1934, 78rpm  record, Brunswick #6873, (160), (112)

Sol Hoopii is my favorite artist from this period. This record is rather worn.. but this is a nice couple tracks that don’t appear on any compilations I know of.
