This is "Rose Of Virginia" by Crescent Trio. The recording turns 105 this year. The song was recorded on May 25, 1920 for the Thomas Edison Diamond Disc label. The Catalog number is 50902, and the Matrix number is 7291. I am going to play the record on an Edison Disc Phonograph Model C-150 that was manufactured likely in 1918 or 1919.
