You know, I did a database search through my MP3 files, and I don't have a
single recording of "Happy Birthday to You!" Here's what I came up with, and these tunes will have to do.
Billy Murray started recording on Edison cylinders in the 1890's, made hundreds of recordings for dozens of record companies, appeared in vaudeville, did animated cartoon voices, and he was still at it in 1937. By that time, though, his career was on the skids— which you can tell by the kind of material he was waxing by then. I'll probably be sued by the Disney Corporation's shark-like corps of lawyers for posting this
really obscure early Disney kiddie record, but what the hey... the band (whoever they are) is actually pretty good.
The illustration shows Mickey the morning
after his birthday party. Minnie looked even worse...
By the way, speaking of grandparents, does anyone besides me think that Adrian looks like she could be Mar-Jean's grandma?
