1916 – New York Blues

A 1916 recording of "New York Blues", composed and performed by Pietro Frosini, one of the most famous stars of the accordion.

Accordion music was an important part of vaudeville, but one that's pretty much unrepresented on Wikipedia before I found this file. The original, unrestored file is File:Pietro Frosini - New York Blues (1916) - unrestored.ogg

Support The sound is acceptable and the historical value is indisputable, in this case. Reminds me the excellent Uri Caine's Sidewalks Of New York: Tin Pan Alley revival album. Thanks for uploading. --Vejvančický (talk) 08:08, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- No worries! Like all such restorations, it's a bit of a balancing act: I could remove a little more hiss, but I thought it affected the accordion's tone if I went any farther, and as I wanted to use this in accordion...

Support I don't hear any significant loss or alterations in the restored version. Thatcher 20:58, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
