Violinist 1871 – 1943

An American session musician born at Kingston upon Hull who made numerous cylinder and 78 rpm recordings of classical melodies, popular songs, novelties, and traditional jigs and reels. He was house violin soloist and concertmaster for the Victor and Edison companies in the early 20th century. On account of the selections below he should be seen as one of the earliest musicians to record Scottish fiddle music.
