[Harp-L] Ernest Stoneman

["Mox Gowland" <mox.g@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ernest Stoneman's first recording (January 8, 1925)

was also his first (and only) hit, 

a version of the topical ballad about the sinking of the Titanic, 

sung with Autoharp and with a harmonica held on a rack, 

a novelty accompaniment for the time.
