The proverb “absence makes the heart grow fonder” describes the feeling of greater affection between friends and lovers who are kept apart. It is a phrase that, in on one form or another, can be traced back for millennia—the Roman poet Sextus is credited with the earliest version of the phrase.
Walter Bowman Rogers - American Conductor, Bandleader, Cornetist, Violinist. (b. Delphi, Indiana October 14, 1865 - d. New York December 24, 1939). Featured in classical & military works.
Responsible for most of the orchestral arrangements on recordings made for the Victor Talking Machine Company between 1904 and 1916.
Berliner Concert Grand (circa 1901-3), Montreal
Starting in 1901, E. Berliner began to produce 10-inch discs that, in addition to having a longer playing time, were also of better quality than the smaller 7-inch discs. The earliest group of 10-inch discs in the Canadian Berliner series, manufactured by E. Berliner between 1901 and 1903, are labelled "Berliner Concert Grand". These discs are sometimes black, but more often brown or maroon, having a black label with a gold edge and gold lettering. Arcing across the top in block lettering are the words "Berliner Concert Grand". Below the semicircle formed by the label name are the words "Improved Gram-O-phone Record". Just above the spindle hole, which is protected by a brass grommet, are the words "Manufactured by", while to the left side of the hole is "E. Berliner" and on the right side "Montreal, Canada". Directly beneath the hole is the Canadian patent date ("Feb. 24, 1897") and below that the title and performer. At the bottom of the label is the Canadian issue number. (note: It should be noted that issue numbers were not necessarily assigned in a chronological sequence, and indeed, many recordings pre-date others having lower issue numbers.
