January 15, 2022: 167 Will F. Denny
William "Will" F. Denny (ca.1860 - 1908) sang in vaudeville, beginning his career in Boston. He made his first recordings—cylinders—for the New England Phonograph Company in 1891. Denny specialized in comic songs and parodies. He recorded copiously for the Columbia, Edison, and Berliner record companies, and less so for Zonophone and Victor. He sang in a loud, full tenor with a slight trace of Irish brogue that slightly resembled George Walker of the team of Williams and Walker. He died in Seattle on October 2, 1908 of atherosclerosis, while touring on the Pantages vaudeville circuit, and was buried in Philadelphia.

from archive.org: This very funny comic song was a typical piece of Denny's repertoire, and this recording is just as wild and weird as many he made. The piano playing on this take is particularly interesting, as it's very different from the takes Denny made for Edison around the same time. The pianist on this recording could be debated, from very small characteristics that are distinct to opposing pianists who worked luckily for the same company. The pianist is more likely to be Fred Hylands, though there's a possibility it's Edward Issler. |
