Thank you for the link. I saw where the Society gives the date of the recording as September 20, 1916. While looking at that site, I checked the dates given there for other McCormack recordings with the dates on the record labels I have. The Society shows the date for "Angel's Serenade" and Ave Maria", both with Fritz Kreisler, as March 25, 1914, which is the date on 12" 78 rpm record I have. However, for "All Alone" and "Rose Marie" the Society shows a date of December 17, 1924. The date on the 10" 78 rpm record I have gives a recording date of August 11, 1908. In the absence of other information, I will use the September 20, 1916 date for my record of McCormack's When Irish Eyes Are Smiling. But, given some of the different dates I found at the Society's page, I just wonder if my record was made at an earlier date. Thanks again. Rob
