J. W. Myers sings "The Good Old U.S.A." on Victor 4761, recorded on May 29, 1906 (words by Jack Drislane, music by Theodore Morse).
"Tell me, daddy, tell me--why those
men in that big crowd? Won't you
tell me why they're cheering? What
makes each one act so proud?"
"Listen, lad," he answered. "It's the
tune the brass band plays. It's the
song "My Country 'Tis Of Thee," and
you'll know one of these days...
Makes no difference where you wander.
Makes no difference where you roam.
You don't have to stop and ponder for a
place to call your home.
When they ask, "Where were you born,
lad?"speak right up, be proud to say
that your home's the land of Uncle Sam,
the good old U. S. A.
Years ago, in battle,
Both our grandpas fought and fell
'Mid the cannon's roar and rattle
So of freedom we could tell
Washington and Jackson,
Dear old Lincoln, Grant and Lee
Are the men who made us what we are,
On the land and on the sea.
John W. Myers, usually identified on records as J. W. Myers, was arguably the leading baritone balladeer in the first decade of commercial recordings, working regularly from the early 1890s to 1904 or so, after which a drop in his output is dramatic.
Born in Wales, Myers immigrated to America at age 12 and worked at various jobs, eventually becoming a theatrical manager in New York.
The May 10, 1901, catalog of Zon-o-phone discs issued by the National Gramophone Corporation lists seven titles sung by Myers.
He cut over 100 titles in the early days of the Victor Talking Machine Company, beginning on February 20, 1901, with performances issued on seven-inch discs. Sessions in October 1902 would be his last for Victor for a few years.
For Edison he cut a couple dozen titles, most of them in 1901, beginning with "Light of the Sea" (7820). He was a versatile artist, covering sentimental standards ("We'll Be Sweethearts to the End," 9498), bass-baritone classics ("Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep," 7840), and comic numbers.
After "The Bridge" (8010) was released in 1902, he stopped making Edison records for a few years, finally returning with "Night Time" (9470), issued in February 1907.
Announcing its release, the December 1906 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly states, "Mr. Myers was always a favorite among admirers of the Edison Phonograph and Edison Records, and his re-enlistment in the Edison corps of artists will be pleasing news to them."
By this time Myers recorded mainly sentimental numbers and songs of a previous generation. The February 1907 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly, announcing the April release of Standard 9524, states, "'The Bowery Grenadiers,' by J.W. Myers, is a revival of an old song that will awaken more than ordinary interest. It will recall by-gone days, when the late John W. Kelly entertained thousands with it. Thirty or more years ago it was one of the most popular songs of the day."
His final Edison recording was "Land League Band" (9576), issued in June 1907. The April 1907 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly calls this "a lively old march song popular a generation ago." Myers was issued only on two-minute wax cylinders, his career with Edison being over by the time four-minute wax Amberols were introduced in 1908.
He was popular abroad. The February 15, 1906, issue of the Talking Machine News, published in London, noted, "The newsboys of London and New York whistle the same tunes, whether they are 'Navajo,' 'My Irish Molly O,' 'Bedelia' or 'In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree,' because the talker has made them known on both sides of the ocean....If George Alexander or Henry Burr or J.W. Myers were to advertise a concert in the Albert Hall next month, nine-tenths of their audience would be talking machine users."
In late 1905 he cut titles for Leeds & Catlin, which issued Myer performances on over a dozen Imperial discs, beginning with "Somebody's Sweetheart I Want to Be" (44637) in January 1906 (Imperial discs sold for sixty cents). Edison and Victor issued Myers recordings until 1907. One of his last Columbia recordings was a new take, with orchestra accompaniment, of "Where the Silv'ry Colorado Wends Its Way," issued in January 1909 on A610. This title had earlier been issued on single-sided disc 1092 as well as cylinder 32032, both with Myers accompanied by piano.
His singing style was losing its appeal, and recording activity again dropped off. Major H. H. Annand reports in a list of U-S Everlasting cylinders that Myers was among those who in 1908 started the U-S Phonograph Company of Cleveland, Ohio. If true, it is curious that Myers did not make U-S Everlasting cylinders.
He resurfaced as a Columbia, Rex, and Emerson artist. One late Columbia title is "Along the Yukon Trail" (A1614), issued in 1914.
Walsh concluded that the singer died around 1919.
J. W. Myers sings "Break The News To Mother" on Columbia Phonograph Co. cylinder 4586, issued around 1902. This song is by Charles K. Harris, who wrote the famous "After The Ball."
While the shot and shell were
screaming upon the battlefield,
the boys in blue were fighting,
their noble flag to shield. Came
a cry from their brave captain:
"Look, boys! our flag is down!
Who'll volunteer to save it
from disgrace?"
"I will," a young boy shouted.
"I'll bring it back or die!" Then
sprang into the thickest of the
fray! Saved the flag but gave his
young life--all for his country's
sake. They brought him back
and softly heard him say:
"Just break the news to mother.
She knows how dear I love her,
and tell her not to wait for me,
for I'm not coming home. Just say
there is no other can take the
place of mother. Then kiss her
dear sweet lips for me, and break
the news to her."

A catalog issued in 1898 by Columbia's New England headquarters--the Eastern Talking Machine Company at 17 Tremont Street, Boston--lists over fifty Myers titles and states, "J. W. Myers, the famous baritone, whose records have achieved a wonderful popularity, has recently made a contract to sing exclusively for the Columbia Phonograph Company."
Although Columbia's 1898 catalog identifies Myers as exclusive to that company, Myers cut dozens of titles for Berliner, having sessions as late as November 1897, March 1898, and December 1898. Columbia at that time made only cylinders. His contract may have allowed him to make discs for Berliner.

J. W. Myers sings "I'm Wearing My Heart Away For You" on Columbia Phonograph Co. 32358 (1904).
The song is by Charles K. Harris, a name often given on sheet music as Chas. K. Harris. Charles Kassell Harris lived from 1864 to 1930. He enjoyed his greatest success with the song "After The Ball" and was known for sentimental songs.
I wonder where you are tonight, my love,
As all alone I sit and dream;
I wonder if your heart's with me tonight
And if the same stars for you gleam;
I sometimes fear there is another, love--
Some fairer face has won your heart.
But, ah, I hope the day will never come,
The day that we two must live apart.
I'm wearing my heart away for you
It cries aloud, "My love be true."
I dream of you by night.
I long for you by day.
I'm wearing my heart away for you.

I decided to record and post several very early brown wax cylinders from my collection this morning. Played on one of my early Edison Suitcase Home Phonographs, this one is from 1898 and features J.W. Myers singing "The Holy City" on Columbia Brown Wax cylinder. I'll add more details here after all the videos are loaded. Thanks for stopping in for a visit!

J.W. Myers recorded "Sweet Savannah" in 1898. It was issued on Berliner disc 1936.
This is a Paul Dresser song.
'Neath a Southern sky
there stands a humble cottage;
'neath its roof there sits a mother
old and gray.
In the trees around the songbirds
they are singing.
Their melodies help
while the hours away.
Although I've wandered far and wide,
Yet never have I forgotten her wherever I'm roamed.
Don't weep, dear mother, for your boy is coming
back to dear Savannah, home sweet home.
Very soon I will be back in old Savannah;
very soon I'll be where sweet magnolias bloom.
And my arms will soon entwine my
gray-haired sweetheart--
ere long I'll banish all her tears and gloom!
I love her for she bears the name of "mother"--
and in my dreams I see her falling tears.
The songbirds seem to know that she is grieving
and sing to her in her declining years.
Sweet Savannah, dear Savannah!
There's where the mockingbird is singing blithe and gay
In Savannah, sweet Savannah--scene of my childhood's day.
John W. Myers (c. 1864 - c. 1919), usually identified on records as J.W. Myers, was arguably the leading baritone balladeer in the first decade of commercial recordings, working regularly from the early 1890s to 1904 or so, after which a reduction in his output is dramatic.
Born in Wales, Myers immigrated to America at age 12 and worked at various jobs, eventually becoming a theatrical manager in New York. He resigned his managerial position in 1895 to tour with an opera company.
He possessed a rich baritone voice and as far back as his youth was asked to sing in concerts and at private gatherings. He had already been making cylinders for a few years by this time (he is identified as "the popular baritone" in an 1892 New Jersey Phonograph Company catalog described by Jim Walsh in the October 1958 issue of Hobbies), and when the tour was finished, Myers returned to New York City to concentrate on concert work there and to attend recording sessions.
He founded the Globe Phonograph Record Company by November 1896. That month's issue of The Phonoscope reported that Globe cylinders were priced at a dollar each. Globe soon afterwards folded.
A catalog issued in 1898 by Columbia's New England headquarters--the Eastern Talking Machine Company at 17 Tremont Street, Boston--lists over fifty Myers titles and states, "J.W. Myers, the famous baritone, whose records have achieved a wonderful popularity, has recently made a contract to sing exclusively for the Columbia Phonograph Company." Although Columbia's 1898 catalog identifies Myers as exclusive to that company, Myers cut dozens of titles for Berliner, having sessions as late as November 1897, March 1898, and December 1898. Columbia at that time made only cylinders.
His contract obviously allowed him to make discs for Berliner.
Titles in Columbia's 1898 catalog include "Bedouin Love Song" (5601) and "I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls" (5631). He worked often for Columbia at the turn of the century.
The May 10, 1901, catalog of Zon-o-phone discs issued by the National Gramophone Corporation lists seven titles sung by Myers.
He cut over 100 titles in the early days of the Victor Talking Machine Company, beginning on February 20, 1901, with performances issued on seven-inch discs. Sessions in October 1902 would be his last for Victor for a few years.
For an unknown reason this artist who had been making records regularly for a decade stopped having sessions by late 1902. New titles cut on February 8, 1905, include "The Wearing of the Green" and "Marching Through Georgia." His final Victor records were made on December 4, 1906.
For Edison he cut a couple dozen titles, most of them in 1901, beginning with "Light of the Sea" (7820). He was a versatile artist.
In late 1905 he cut titles for Leeds & Catlin, which issued Myers performances on over a dozen Imperial discs, beginning with "Somebody's Sweetheart I Want to Be" (44637) in January 1906 (Imperial discs sold for sixty cents). Edison and Victor issued Myers recordings until 1907. One of his last Columbia recordings was a new take, with orchestra accompaniment, of "Where the Silv'ry Colorado Wends Its Way," issued in January 1909 on A610.

He resurfaced as a Columbia, Rex, and Emerson artist. An Emerson catalog of 1917 gives his name as John W. Myers. Nothing is known of his death but Walsh concluded that he died around 1919.

Myers were to advertise a concert in the Albert Hall next month, nine-tenths of their audience would be talking machine users."

John W. Myers (c.1864 – c.1919?), who was usually credited as J. W. Myers, was a Welsh-born baritone singer, who recorded widely in the United States between the early 1890s and the early 1910s. His recordings, including "Two Little Girls in Blue" (1893), "The Sidewalks of New York" (1895), "Just Tell Them That You Saw Me" (1895), "When You Were Sweet Sixteen" (1901), "On a Sunday Afternoon" (1902), "Way Down In Old Indiana" (1902), and "In the Good Old Summer Time" (1902), were among the most popular of the period.
Biography
Little is known of his life, although he is believed to have been born in Wales and emigrated to the US at the age of 12 in the 1870s. He worked at various jobs before becoming a theatre manager in New York City. By 1892, he was identified as an already seasoned recording artist, suggesting that he may have first recorded as early as 1890.
His first successful recordings were in 1892. He became regarded as "the foremost baritone ballad singer of his era", and recorded probably hundreds of songs for many phonograph cylinder recording companies, including Edison, Berliner, and Victor. In 1895 he resigned from his position in the theatre in order to join a touring opera, and in 1896 set up his own short-lived cylinder company, the Globe Talking Machine Company.

New York
New York is a state in the Northeastern United States and is the United States' 27th-most extensive, fourth-most populous, and seventh-most densely populated state. New York is bordered by New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the south and Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont to the east. The state has a maritime border in the Atlantic Ocean with Rhode Island, east of Long Island, as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Quebec to the north and Ontario to the west and north. The state of New York, with an estimated 19.8 million residents in 2015, is often referred to as New York State to distinguish it from New York City, the state's most populous city and its economic hub.
With an estimated population of nearly 8.5 million in 2014, New York City is the most populous city in the United States and the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. The New York City Metropolitan Area is one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. New York City is a global city, exerting a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment, its fast pace defining the term New York minute. The home of the United Nations Headquarters, New York City is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural and financial capital of the world, as well as the world's most economically powerful city. New York City makes up over 40% of the population of New York State. Two-thirds of the state's population lives in the New York City Metropolitan Area, and nearly 40% live on Long Island. Both the state and New York City were named for the 17th century Duke of York, future King James II of England. The next four most populous cities in the state are Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, and Syracuse, while the state capital is Albany.

2:34J. W. Myers "The Good Old U.S.A." Victor 4761 (1906) Jack Drislane & Theodore Morse LYRICS
J. W. Myers "The Good Old U.S.A." Victor 4761 (1906) Jack Drislane & Theodore Morse LYRICSJ. W. Myers "The Good Old U.S.A." Victor 4761 (1906) Jack Drislane & Theodore Morse LYRICS
J. W. Myers sings "The Good Old U.S.A." on Victor 4761, recorded on May 29, 1906 (words by Jack Drislane, music by Theodore Morse). "Tell me, daddy, tell me--why those men in that big crowd? Won't you tell me why they're cheering? What makes each one act so proud?" "Listen, lad," he answered. "It's the tune the brass band plays. It's the song "My Country 'Tis Of Thee," and you'll know one of these days... Makes no difference where you wander. Makes no difference where you roam. You don't have to stop and ponder for a place to call your home. When they ask, "Where were you born, lad?"speak right up, be proud to say that your home's the land of Uncle Sam, the good old U. S. A. Years ago, in battle, Both our grandpas fought and fell 'Mid the cannon's roar and rattle So of freedom we could tell Washington and Jackson, Dear old Lincoln, Grant and Lee Are the men who made us what we are, On the land and on the sea. John W. Myers, usually identified on records as J. W. Myers, was arguably the leading baritone balladeer in the first decade of commercial recordings, working regularly from the early 1890s to 1904 or so, after which a drop in his output is dramatic. Born in Wales, Myers immigrated to America at age 12 and worked at various jobs, eventually becoming a theatrical manager in New York. The May 10, 1901, catalog of Zon-o-phone discs issued by the National Gramophone Corporation lists seven titles sung by Myers. He cut over 100 titles in the early days of the Victor Talking Machine Company, beginning on February 20, 1901, with performances issued on seven-inch discs. Sessions in October 1902 would be his last for Victor for a few years. For Edison he cut a couple dozen titles, most of them in 1901, beginning with "Light of the Sea" (7820). He was a versatile artist, covering sentimental standards ("We'll Be Sweethearts to the End," 9498), bass-baritone classics ("Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep," 7840), and comic numbers. After "The Bridge" (8010) was released in 1902, he stopped making Edison records for a few years, finally returning with "Night Time" (9470), issued in February 1907. Announcing its release, the December 1906 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly states, "Mr. Myers was always a favorite among admirers of the Edison Phonograph and Edison Records, and his re-enlistment in the Edison corps of artists will be pleasing news to them." By this time Myers recorded mainly sentimental numbers and songs of a previous generation. The February 1907 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly, announcing the April release of Standard 9524, states, "'The Bowery Grenadiers,' by J.W. Myers, is a revival of an old song that will awaken more than ordinary interest. It will recall by-gone days, when the late John W. Kelly entertained thousands with it. Thirty or more years ago it was one of the most popular songs of the day." His final Edison recording was "Land League Band" (9576), issued in June 1907. The April 1907 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly calls this "a lively old march song popular a generation ago." Myers was issued only on two-minute wax cylinders, his career with Edison being over by the time four-minute wax Amberols were introduced in 1908. He was popular abroad. The February 15, 1906, issue of the Talking Machine News, published in London, noted, "The newsboys of London and New York whistle the same tunes, whether they are 'Navajo,' 'My Irish Molly O,' 'Bedelia' or 'In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree,' because the talker has made them known on both sides of the ocean....If George Alexander or Henry Burr or J.W. Myers were to advertise a concert in the Albert Hall next month, nine-tenths of their audience would be talking machine users." In late 1905 he cut titles for Leeds & Catlin, which issued Myer performances on over a dozen Imperial discs, beginning with "Somebody's Sweetheart I Want to Be" (44637) in January 1906 (Imperial discs sold for sixty cents). Edison and Victor issued Myers recordings until 1907. One of his last Columbia recordings was a new take, with orchestra accompaniment, of "Where the Silv'ry Colorado Wends Its Way," issued in January 1909 on A610. This title had earlier been issued on single-sided disc 1092 as well as cylinder 32032, both with Myers accompanied by piano. His singing style was losing its appeal, and recording activity again dropped off. Major H. H. Annand reports in a list of U-S Everlasting cylinders that Myers was among those who in 1908 started the U-S Phonograph Company of Cleveland, Ohio. If true, it is curious that Myers did not make U-S Everlasting cylinders. He resurfaced as a Columbia, Rex, and Emerson artist. One late Columbia title is "Along the Yukon Trail" (A1614), issued in 1914. Walsh concluded that the singer died around 1919. -
2:09J. W. Myers "Break The News To Mother" Columbia cylinder (Charles K. Harris "After The Ball")
J. W. Myers "Break The News To Mother" Columbia cylinder (Charles K. Harris "After The Ball")J. W. Myers "Break The News To Mother" Columbia cylinder (Charles K. Harris "After The Ball")
J. W. Myers sings "Break The News To Mother" on Columbia Phonograph Co. cylinder 4586, issued around 1902. This song is by Charles K. Harris, who wrote the famous "After The Ball." While the shot and shell were screaming upon the battlefield, the boys in blue were fighting, their noble flag to shield. Came a cry from their brave captain: "Look, boys! our flag is down! Who'll volunteer to save it from disgrace?" "I will," a young boy shouted. "I'll bring it back or die!" Then sprang into the thickest of the fray! Saved the flag but gave his young life--all for his country's sake. They brought him back and softly heard him say: "Just break the news to mother. She knows how dear I love her, and tell her not to wait for me, for I'm not coming home. Just say there is no other can take the place of mother. Then kiss her dear sweet lips for me, and break the news to her." John W. Myers, usually identified on records as J. W. Myers, was arguably the leading baritone balladeer in the first decade of commercial recordings, working regularly from the early 1890s to 1904 or so, after which a drop in his output is dramatic. Born in Wales, Myers immigrated to America at age 12 and worked at various jobs, eventually becoming a theatrical manager in New York. A catalog issued in 1898 by Columbia's New England headquarters--the Eastern Talking Machine Company at 17 Tremont Street, Boston--lists over fifty Myers titles and states, "J. W. Myers, the famous baritone, whose records have achieved a wonderful popularity, has recently made a contract to sing exclusively for the Columbia Phonograph Company." Although Columbia's 1898 catalog identifies Myers as exclusive to that company, Myers cut dozens of titles for Berliner, having sessions as late as November 1897, March 1898, and December 1898. Columbia at that time made only cylinders. His contract may have allowed him to make discs for Berliner. The May 10, 1901, catalog of Zon-o-phone discs issued by the National Gramophone Corporation lists seven titles sung by Myers.

J. W. Myers sings "I'm Wearing My Heart Away For You" on Columbia Phonograph Co. 32358 (1904). The song is by Charles K. Harris, a name often given on sheet music as Chas. K. Harris. Charles Kassell Harris lived from 1864 to 1930. He enjoyed his greatest success with the song "After The Ball" and was known for sentimental songs. I wonder where you are tonight, my love, As all alone I sit and dream; I wonder if your heart's with me tonight And if the same stars for you gleam; I sometimes fear there is another, love-- Some fairer face has won your heart. But, ah, I hope the day will never come, The day that we two must live apart. I'm wearing my heart away for you It cries aloud, "My love be true." I dream of you by night. I long for you by day. I'm wearing my heart away for you. John W. Myers, usually identified on records as J. W.

J.W. Myers recorded "Sweet Savannah" in 1898. It was issued on Berliner disc 1936. This is a Paul Dresser song. 'Neath a Southern sky there stands a humble cottage; 'neath its roof there sits a mother old and gray. In the trees around the songbirds they are singing. Their melodies help while the hours away. Although I've wandered far and wide, Yet never have I forgotten her wherever I'm roamed. Don't weep, dear mother, for your boy is coming back to dear Savannah, home sweet home. Very soon I will be back in old Savannah; very soon I'll be where sweet magnolias bloom. And my arms will soon entwine my gray-haired sweetheart-- ere long I'll banish all her tears and gloom! I love her for she bears the name of "mother"-- and in my dreams I see her falling tears. The songbirds seem to know that she is grieving and sing to her in her declining years. Sweet Savannah, dear Savannah! There's where the mockingbird is singing blithe and gay In Savannah, sweet Savannah--scene of my childhood's day. John W. Myers (c. 1864 - c. 1919), usually identified on records as J.W. Myers, was arguably the leading baritone balladeer in the first decade of commercial recordings, working regularly from the early 1890s to 1904 or so, after which a reduction in his output is dramatic. Born in Wales, Myers immigrated to America at age 12 and worked at various jobs, eventually becoming a theatrical manager in New York. He resigned his managerial position in 1895 to tour with an opera company. He possessed a rich baritone voice and as far back as his youth was asked to sing in concerts and at private gatherings. He had already been making cylinders for a few years by this time (he is identified as "the popular baritone" in an 1892 New Jersey Phonograph Company catalog described by Jim Walsh in the October 1958 issue of Hobbies), and when the tour was finished, Myers returned to New York City to concentrate on concert work there and to attend recording sessions. He founded the Globe Phonograph Record Company by November 1896. That month's issue of The Phonoscope reported that Globe cylinders were priced at a dollar each. Globe soon afterwards folded. A catalog issued in 1898 by Columbia's New England headquarters--the Eastern Talking Machine Company at 17 Tremont Street, Boston--lists over fifty Myers titles and states, "J.W. Myers, the famous baritone, whose records have achieved a wonderful popularity, has recently made a contract to sing exclusively for the Columbia Phonograph Company." Although Columbia's 1898 catalog identifies Myers as exclusive to that company, Myers cut dozens of titles for Berliner, having sessions as late as November 1897, March 1898, and December 1898. Columbia at that time made only cylinders. His contract obviously allowed him to make discs for Berliner. Titles in Columbia's 1898 catalog include "Bedouin Love Song" (5601) and "I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls" (5631). He worked often for Columbia at the turn of the century. The May 10, 1901, catalog of Zon-o-phone discs issued by the National Gramophone Corporation lists seven titles sung by Myers. He cut over 100 titles in the early days of the Victor Talking Machine Company, beginning on February 20, 1901, with performances issued on seven-inch discs. Sessions in October 1902 would be his last for Victor for a few years. For an unknown reason this artist who had been making records regularly for a decade stopped having sessions by late 1902. New titles cut on February 8, 1905, include "The Wearing of the Green" and "Marching Through Georgia." His final Victor records were made on December 4, 1906. For Edison he cut a couple dozen titles, most of them in 1901, beginning with "Light of the Sea" (7820). He was a versatile artist. In late 1905 he cut titles for Leeds & Catlin, which issued Myers performances on over a dozen Imperial discs, beginning with "Somebody's Sweetheart I Want to Be" (44637) in January 1906 (Imperial discs sold for sixty cents). Edison and Victor issued Myers recordings until 1907. One of his last Columbia recordings was a new take, with orchestra accompaniment, of "Where the Silv'ry Colorado Wends Its Way," issued in January 1909 on A610. This title had earlier been issued on single-sided disc 1092 as well as cylinder 32032, both with Myers accompanied by piano. His singing style was losing its appeal, and recording activity again dropped off. Major H. H. Annand reports in a list of U-S Everlasting cylinders that Myers was among those who in 1908 started the U-S Phonograph Company of Cleveland, Ohio. If true, it is curious that Myers did not make U-S Everlasting cylinders. He resurfaced as a Columbia, Rex, and Emerson artist. An Emerson catalog of 1917 gives his name as John W. Myers. Nothing is known of his death but Walsh concluded that he died around 1919. -

"My Own United States" J. W. Myers on Columbia cylinder 32055, issued in 1903"My Own United States" J. W. Myers on Columbia cylinder 32055, issued in 1903
"My Own United States" is sung by J. W. Myers on Columbia Phonograph Company cylinder 32055, issued in 1903. The song was featured in the show titled When Johnny Comes Marching Home. Lyrics are by Stanislaus Stange. Music is by Julian Edwards. John W. Myers, usually identified on records as J. W. Myers, was arguably the leading baritone balladeer in the first decade of commercial recordings, working regularly from the early 1890s to 1904 or so, after which a drop in his output is dramatic. Born in Wales, Myers immigrated to America at age 12 and worked at various jobs, eventually becoming a theatrical manager in New York. The May 10, 1901, catalog of Zon-o-phone discs issued by the National Gramophone Corporation lists seven titles sung by Myers. He cut over 100 titles in the early days of the Victor Talking Machine Company, beginning on February 20, 1901, with performances issued on seven-inch discs. Sessions in October 1902 would be his last for Victor for a few years. For Edison he cut a couple dozen titles, most of them in 1901, beginning with "Light of the Sea" (7820). He was a versatile artist, covering sentimental standards ("We'll Be Sweethearts to the End," 9498), bass-baritone classics ("Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep," 7840), and comic numbers. After "The Bridge" (8010) was released in 1902, he stopped making Edison records for a few years, finally returning with "Night Time" (9470), issued in February 1907. Announcing its release, the December 1906 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly states, "Mr. Myers was always a favorite among admirers of the Edison Phonograph and Edison Records, and his re-enlistment in the Edison corps of artists will be pleasing news to them." By this time Myers recorded mainly sentimental numbers and songs of a previous generation. The February 1907 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly, announcing the April release of Standard 9524, states, "'The Bowery Grenadiers,' by J.W. Myers, is a revival of an old song that will awaken more than ordinary interest. It will recall by-gone days, when the late John W. Kelly entertained thousands with it. Thirty or more years ago it was one of the most popular songs of the day." His final Edison recording was "Land League Band" (9576), issued in June 1907. The April 1907 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly calls this "a lively old march song popular a generation ago." Myers was issued only on two-minute wax cylinders, his career with Edison being over by the time four-minute wax Amberols were introduced in 1908. He was popular abroad. The February 15, 1906, issue of the Talking Machine News, published in London, noted, "The newsboys of London and New York whistle the same tunes, whether they are 'Navajo,' 'My Irish Molly O,' 'Bedelia' or 'In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree,' because the talker has made them known on both sides of the ocean....If George Alexander or Henry Burr or J.W. Myers were to advertise a concert in the Albert Hall next month, nine-tenths of their audience would be talking machine users." In late 1905 he cut titles for Leeds & Catlin, which issued Myer performances on over a dozen Imperial discs, beginning with "Somebody's Sweetheart I Want to Be" (44637) in January 1906 (Imperial discs sold for sixty cents). Edison and Victor issued Myers recordings until 1907. One of his last Columbia recordings was a new take, with orchestra accompaniment, of "Where the Silv'ry Colorado Wends Its Way," issued in January 1909 on A610.

If true, it is curious that Myers did not make U-S Everlasting cylinders. He resurfaced as a Columbia, Rex, and Emerson artist. One late Columbia title is "Along the Yukon Trail" (A1614), issued in 1914. Walsh concluded that the singer died around 1919.

J. W. Myers sings "Break The News To Mother" on Columbia Phonograph Co. cylinder 4586, issued around 1902. This song is by Charles K. Harris, who wrote the famous "After The Ball." While the shot and shell were screaming upon the battlefield, the boys in blue were fighting, their noble flag to shield. Came a cry from their brave captain: "Look, boys! our flag is down! Who'll volunteer to save it from disgrace?" "I will," a young boy shouted. "I'll bring it back or die!" Then sprang into the thickest of the fray! Saved the flag but gave his young life--all for his country's sake. They brought him back and softly heard him say: "Just break the news to mother. She knows how dear I love her, and tell her not to wait for me, for I'm not coming home. Just say there is no oth...

J. W. Myers sings "I'm Wearing My Heart Away For You" on Columbia Phonograph Co. 32358 (1904). The song is by Charles K. Harris, a name often given on sheet music as Chas. K. Harris. Charles Kassell Harris lived from 1864 to 1930. He enjoyed his greatest success with the song "After The Ball" and was known for sentimental songs. I wonder where you are tonight, my love, As all alone I sit and dream; I wonder if your heart's with me tonight And if the same stars for you gleam; I sometimes fear there is another, love-- Some fairer face has won your heart. But, ah, I hope the day will never come, The day that we two must live apart. I'm wearing my heart away for you It cries aloud, "My love be true." I dream of you by night. I long for you by day. I'm wearing my heart away for you. John W....

J. W. Myers "Sweet Savannah" Berliner disc Paul Dresser song (1898)
J.W. Myers recorded "Sweet Savannah" in 1898. It was issued on Berliner disc 1936. This is a Paul Dresser song. 'Neath a Southern sky there stands a humble cottage; 'neath its roof there sits a mother old and gray. In the trees around the songbirds they are singing. Their melodies help while the hours away. Although I've wandered far and wide, Yet never have I forgotten her wherever I'm roamed. Don't weep, dear mother, for your boy is coming back to dear Savannah, home sweet home. Very soon I will be back in old Savannah; very soon I'll be where sweet magnolias bloom. And my arms will soon entwine my gray-haired sweetheart-- ere long I'll banish all her tears and gloom! I love her for she bears the name of "mother"-- and in my dreams I see her falling tears. The songbirds se...

John W. Myers, usually identified on records as J. W. Myers, was arguably the leading baritone balladeer in the first decade of commercial recordings, working regularly from the early 1890s to 1904 or so, after which a drop in his output is dramatic.
Born in Wales, Myers immigrated to America at age 12 and worked at various jobs, eventually becoming a theatrical manager in New York.
A catalog issued in 1898 by Columbia's New England headquarters--the Eastern Talking Machine Company at 17 Tremont Street, Boston--lists over fifty Myers titles and states, "J. W. Myers, the famous baritone, whose records have achieved a wonderful popularity, has recently made a contract to sing exclusively for the Columbia Phonograph Company."
Although Columbia's 1898 catalog identifies Myers as exclusive to that company, Myers cut dozens of titles for Berliner, having sessions as late as November 1897, March 1898, and December 1898. Columbia at that time made only cylinders. His contract may have allowed him to make discs for Berliner.
The May 10, 1901, catalog of Zon-o-phone discs issued by the National Gramophone Corporation lists seven titles sung by Myers.
He cut over 100 titles in the early days of the Victor Talking Machine Company, beginning on February 20, 1901, with performances issued on seven-inch discs. Sessions in October 1902 would be his last for Victor for a few years.
For Edison he cut a couple dozen titles, most of them in 1901, beginning with "Light of the Sea" (7820). He was a versatile artist, covering sentimental standards ("We'll Be Sweethearts to the End," 9498), bass-baritone classics ("Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep," 7840), and comic numbers.

The February 15, 1906, issue of the Talking Machine News, published in London, noted, "The newsboys of London and New York whistle the same tunes, whether they are 'Navajo,' 'My Irish Molly O,' 'Bedelia' or 'In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree,' because the talker has made them known on both sides of the ocean....If George Alexander or Henry Burr or J.W. Myers were to advertise a concert in the Albert Hall next month, nine-tenths of their audience would be talking machine users."
In late 1905 he cut titles for Leeds & Catlin, which issued Myer performances on over a dozen Imperial discs, beginning with "Somebody's Sweetheart I Want to Be" (44637) in January 1906 (Imperial discs sold for sixty cents). Edison and Victor issued Myers recordings until 1907. One of his last Columbia recordings was a new take, with orchestra accompaniment, of "Where the Silv'ry Colorado Wends Its Way," issued in January 1909 on A610.
His singing style was losing its appeal, and recording activity again dropped off.
Walsh concluded that he died around 1919.

J. W. Myers sings "Break The News To Mother" on Columbia Phonograph Co. cylinder 4586, issued around 1902. This song is by Charles K. Harris, who wrote the famous "After The Ball."
While the shot and shell were
screaming upon the battlefield,
the boys in blue were fighting,
their noble flag to shield. Came
a cry from their brave captain:
"Look, boys! our flag is down!
Who'll volunteer to save it
from disgrace?"
"I will," a young boy shouted.
"I'll bring it back or die!" Then
sprang into the thickest of the
fray! Saved the flag but gave his
young life--all for his country's
sake. They brought him back
and softly heard him say:
"Just break the news to mother.
She knows how dear I love her,
and tell her not to wait for me,
for I'm not coming home. Just say
there is no other can take the
place of mother. Then kiss her
dear sweet lips for me, and break
the news to her."
John W. Myers, usually identified on records as J. W. Myers, was arguably the leading baritone balladeer in the first decade of commercial recordings, working regularly from the early 1890s to 1904 or so, after which a drop in his output is dramatic.
Born in Wales, Myers immigrated to America at age 12 and worked at various jobs, eventually becoming a theatrical manager in New York.
A catalog issued in 1898 by Columbia's New England headquarters--the Eastern Talking Machine Company at 17 Tremont Street, Boston--lists over fifty Myers titles and states, "J. W. Myers, the famous baritone, whose records have achieved a wonderful popularity, has recently made a contract to sing exclusively for the Columbia Phonograph Company."
Although Columbia's 1898 catalog identifies Myers as exclusive to that company, Myers cut dozens of titles for Berliner, having sessions as late as November 1897, March 1898, and December 1898. Columbia at that time made only cylinders. His contract may have allowed him to make discs for Berliner.
The May 10, 1901, catalog of Zon-o-phone discs issued by the National Gramophone Corporation lists seven titles sung by Myers.
He cut over 100 titles in the early days of the Victor Talking Machine Company, beginning on February 20, 1901, with performances issued on seven-inch discs. Sessions in October 1902 would be his last for Victor for a few years.
For Edison he cut a couple dozen titles, most of them in 1901, beginning with "Light of the Sea" (7820). He was a versatile artist, covering sentimental standards ("We'll Be Sweethearts to the End," 9498), bass-baritone classics ("Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep," 7840), and comic numbers.
After "The Bridge" (8010) was released in 1902, he stopped making Edison records for a few years, finally returning with "Night Time" (9470), issued in February 1907.
Announcing its release, the December 1906 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly states, "Mr. Myers was always a favorite among admirers of the Edison Phonograph and Edison Records, and his re-enlistment in the Edison corps of artists will be pleasing news to them."
By this time Myers recorded mainly sentimental numbers and songs of a previous generation. The February 1907 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly, announcing the April release of Standard 9524, states, "'The Bowery Grenadiers,' by J.W. Myers, is a revival of an old song that will awaken more than ordinary interest. It will recall by-gone days, when the late John W. Kelly entertained thousands with it. Thirty or more years ago it was one of the most popular songs of the day."
His final Edison recording was "Land League Band" (9576), issued in June 1907. The April 1907 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly calls this "a lively old march song popular a generation ago." Myers was issued only on two-minute wax cylinders, his career with Edison being over by the time four-minute wax Amberols were introduced in 1908.
He was popular abroad. The February 15, 1906, issue of the Talking Machine News, published in London, noted, "The newsboys of London and New York whistle the same tunes, whether they are 'Navajo,' 'My Irish Molly O,' 'Bedelia' or 'In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree,' because the talker has made them known on both sides of the ocean....If George Alexander or Henry Burr or J.W.

He resurfaced as a Columbia, Rex, and Emerson artist. One late Columbia title is "Along the Yukon Trail" (A1614), issued in 1914.

J. W. Myers sings "I'm Wearing My Heart Away For You" on Columbia Phonograph Co. 32358 (1904).
The song is by Charles K. Harris, a name often given on sheet music as Chas. K. Harris. Charles Kassell Harris lived from 1864 to 1930. He enjoyed his greatest success with the song "After The Ball" and was known for sentimental songs.
I wonder where you are tonight, my love,
As all alone I sit and dream;
I wonder if your heart's with me tonight
And if the same stars for you gleam;
I sometimes fear there is another, love--
Some fairer face has won your heart.
But, ah, I hope the day will never come,
The day that we two must live apart.
I'm wearing my heart away for you
It cries aloud, "My love be true."
I dream of you by night.
I long for you by day.
I'm wearing my heart away for you.

J.W. Myers recorded "Sweet Savannah" in 1898. It was issued on Berliner disc 1936.
This is a Paul Dresser song.
'Neath a Southern sky
there stands a humble cottage;
'neath its roof there sits a mother
old and gray.
In the trees around the songbirds
they are singing.
Their melodies help
while the hours away.
Although I've wandered far and wide,
Yet never have I forgotten her wherever I'm roamed.
Don't weep, dear mother, for your boy is coming
back to dear Savannah, home sweet home.
Very soon I will be back in old Savannah;
very soon I'll be where sweet magnolias bloom.
And my arms will soon entwine my
gray-haired sweetheart--
ere long I'll banish all her tears and gloom!
I love her for she bears the name of "mother"--
and in my dreams I see her falling tears.
The songbirds seem to know that she is grieving
and sing to her in her declining years.
Sweet Savannah, dear Savannah!
There's where the mockingbird is singing blithe and gay
In Savannah, sweet Savannah--scene of my childhood's day.
John W. Myers (c. 1864 - c. 1919), usually identified on records as J.W. Myers, was arguably the leading baritone balladeer in the first decade of commercial recordings, working regularly from the early 1890s to 1904 or so, after which a reduction in his output is dramatic.
Born in Wales, Myers immigrated to America at age 12 and worked at various jobs, eventually becoming a theatrical manager in New York. He resigned his managerial position in 1895 to tour with an opera company.
He possessed a rich baritone voice and as far back as his youth was asked to sing in concerts and at private gatherings. He had already been making cylinders for a few years by this time (he is identified as "the popular baritone" in an 1892 New Jersey Phonograph Company catalog described by Jim Walsh in the October 1958 issue of Hobbies), and when the tour was finished, Myers returned to New York City to concentrate on concert work there and to attend recording sessions.
He founded the Globe Phonograph Record Company by November 1896. That month's issue of The Phonoscope reported that Globe cylinders were priced at a dollar each. Globe soon afterwards folded.
A catalog issued in 1898 by Columbia's New England headquarters--the Eastern Talking Machine Company at 17 Tremont Street, Boston--lists over fifty Myers titles and states, "J.W. Myers, the famous baritone, whose records have achieved a wonderful popularity, has recently made a contract to sing exclusively for the Columbia Phonograph Company." Although Columbia's 1898 catalog identifies Myers as exclusive to that company, Myers cut dozens of titles for Berliner, having sessions as late as November 1897, March 1898, and December 1898. Columbia at that time made only cylinders.
His contract obviously allowed him to make discs for Berliner.
Titles in Columbia's 1898 catalog include "Bedouin Love Song" (5601) and "I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls" (5631). He worked often for Columbia at the turn of the century.
The May 10, 1901, catalog of Zon-o-phone discs issued by the National Gramophone Corporation lists seven titles sung by Myers.
He cut over 100 titles in the early days of the Victor Talking Machine Company, beginning on February 20, 1901, with performances issued on seven-inch discs. Sessions in October 1902 would be his last for Victor for a few years.
For an unknown reason this artist who had been making records regularly for a decade stopped having sessions by late 1902. New titles cut on February 8, 1905, include "The Wearing of the Green" and "Marching Through Georgia." His final Victor records were made on December 4, 1906.
For Edison he cut a couple dozen titles, most of them in 1901, beginning with "Light of the Sea" (7820). He was a versatile artist.
In late 1905 he cut titles for Leeds & Catlin, which issued Myers performances on over a dozen Imperial discs, beginning with "Somebody's Sweetheart I Want to Be" (44637) in January 1906 (Imperial discs sold for sixty cents). Edison and Victor issued Myers recordings until 1907. One of his last Columbia recordings was a new take, with orchestra accompaniment, of "Where the Silv'ry Colorado Wends Its Way," issued in January 1909 on A610. This title had earlier been issued on single-sided disc 1092 as well as cylinder 32032, both with Myers accompanied by piano.
His singing style was losing its appeal, and recording activity again dropped off. Major H. H. Annand reports in a list of U-S Everlasting cylinders that Myers was among those who in 1908 started the U-S Phonograph Company of Cleveland, Ohio. If true, it is curious that Myers did not make U-S Everlasting cylinders.
He resurfaced as a Columbia, Rex, and Emerson artist. An Emerson catalog of 1917 gives his name as John W. Myers. Nothing is known of his death but Walsh concluded that he died around 1919.

"My Own United States" is sung by J. W. Myers on Columbia Phonograph Company cylinder 32055, issued in 1903.
The song was featured in the show titled When Johnny Comes Marching Home. Lyrics are by Stanislaus Stange. Music is by Julian Edwards.
John W. Myers, usually identified on records as J. W. Myers, was arguably the leading baritone balladeer in the first decade of commercial recordings, working regularly from the early 1890s to 1904 or so, after which a drop in his output is dramatic.

For Edison he cut a couple dozen titles, most of them in 1901, beginning with "Light of the Sea" (7820). He was a versatile artist, covering sentimental standards ("We'll Be Sweethearts to the End," 9498), bass-baritone classics ("Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep," 7840), and comic numbers.
After "The Bridge" (8010) was released in 1902, he stopped making Edison records for a few years, finally returning with "Night Time" (9470), issued in February 1907.
Announcing its release, the December 1906 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly states, "Mr. Myers was always a favorite among admirers of the Edison Phonograph and Edison Records, and his re-enlistment in the Edison corps of artists will be pleasing news to them."
By this time Myers recorded mainly sentimental numbers and songs of a previous generation. The February 1907 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly, announcing the April release of Standard 9524, states, "'The Bowery Grenadiers,' by J.W. Myers, is a revival of an old song that will awaken more than ordinary interest. It will recall by-gone days, when the late John W. Kelly entertained thousands with it. Thirty or more years ago it was one of the most popular songs of the day."
His final Edison recording was "Land League Band" (9576), issued in June 1907. The April 1907 issue of Edison Phonograph Monthly calls this "a lively old march song popular a generation ago." Myers was issued only on two-minute wax cylinders, his career with Edison being over by the time four-minute wax Amberols were introduced in 1908.
He was popular abroad. The February 15, 1906, issue of the Talking Machine News, published in London, noted, "The newsboys of London and New York whistle the same tunes, whether they are 'Navajo,' 'My Irish Molly O,' 'Bedelia' or 'In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree,' because the talker has made them known on both sides of the ocean....If George Alexander or Henry Burr or J.W. Myers were to advertise a concert in the Albert Hall next month, nine-tenths of their audience would be talking machine users."
In late 1905 he cut titles for Leeds & Catlin, which issued Myer performances on over a dozen Imperial discs, beginning with "Somebody's Sweetheart I Want to Be" (44637) in January 1906 (Imperial discs sold for sixty cents). Edison and Victor issued Myers recordings until 1907. One of his last Columbia recordings was a new take, with orchestra accompaniment, of "Where the Silv'ry Colorado Wends Its Way," issued in January 1909 on A610.

He resurfaced as a Columbia, Rex, and Emerson artist. One late Columbia title is "Along the Yukon Trail" (A1614), issued in 1914.
Walsh concluded that the singer died around 1919.
