Record of the Week

from The National Jukebox

Each week our panel of experts picks a different National Jukebox selection to highlight.

This week’s selection:

"Other Things to Numerous to Mention," sung by Burt Shepard, recorded July 8, 1901.

Burt Shepard, a master of the “recorded raised eyebrow,” delivers a risqué and quite funny account of his mother-in-law, a showgirl, and an unfortunate woman on a bicycle. Through the occasional clearing of his throat and slight pauses, Shepard enhances the comic effect.
