Florodora edit

The hit song from the 1899 musical Florodora. A circa 1908 Edison Records recording by the "Edison Sextette" (Ada Jones, George S. Lenox, Corinne Morgan, Grace Nelson, Bob Roberts and Frank C. Stanley).

The musical was hugely popular at the time, and is usually considered important to the development of the musical, particularly the chorus line. This recording gives the first verse (presumably for length reasons) of the hit song, "Tell me pretty maiden". A score is linked on the information page.
