GUEST,Tim S. Origins: My Gasoline Automobile (Carle/Bowers) (9) RE: Origins: In My Gasoline Automobile 28 Jun 10

I believe the precise title is "My Gasoline Automobile" Composed by Robert Hood Bowers with lyrics by Richard Carle. The vocalist was Frank Kernell (i.e. Samuel H. Dudley). Recorded 8/15/1904. 10-inch disc Victor 4042. Below are some links with additional information.

One of the composer's granddaughters is a good friend, and I am always searching for his memorabilia to gift to her, but so far I haven't been able to locate this recording. I saw the Janet Klein performance on youtube and really enjoyed it.
