Because of the way the site works the year assigned to these songs is
liable to have been artificially pushed into the 20th Century.
For example "Stars & Stripes Forever"
was acutually released in 1897.

Are you sure the titel is "Good Evening, Carrie" and not "Good Morning, Carrie"?

# 3 Tell Me Pretty Maiden
This is the same recording as # 3 in 1902. It featured Byron Harlan, Frank Stanley, Joe Belmont and the Florodora Girls and was issued on Columbia 31604.
We've credited it to "Byron G Harlan, Joe Belmont & the Florodra Girls", thanks for the information.

uncle josh
#1 song must be "Uncle Josh's huskin' bee dance" according to Edison Amberol Cylinder Records catalogue.
You are correct, the mistake has been fixed.
Thank you for the input
