Talk:Dan W. Quinn

"Good Morning, Carrie"
The selected recordings on this article includes a song titled "Good Evening Carrie" (1901). A search of the DAHR project at UCSB turns up no such song--by Quinn, or anyone. "Good Morning, Carrie" is a song composed in 1901, and recorded by Quinn and others (it was a hit for Bert Williams). The Quinn recording of "Good Morning, Carrie" is Victor 920. I'm going to change it unless any other editor has a source that exonerates the "Good Evening" title with a plausible explanation for the similarities. Richigi (talk) 21:47, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

Biographical Updates A new and thoroughly researched history of Quinn's life and career appears in the notes to the Archeophone CD "Dan W. Quinn Anthology," which corrects several errors here. It includes new research and correspondence with Quinn's family, and I will make corrections here based on that source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mediahistoryguy (talk • contribs) 23:36, 15 December 2016 (UTC) Cylinders (and discs) COULD be duplicated at this time, in limited numbers, so I have removed the reference to singing 100 times to make 100 records. This is a misunderstanding that unfortunately pops up too frequently. I have also removed references to "top 10 hits". That info comes ultimately from a book called Pop Memories by Joel Whitburn, which has been thoroughly discredited; there were no charts at this time. The reference to the intermediate source should therefore be removed. Regarding the previous comment the writer is correct, the title of the song is "Good Morning Carrie" and I have corrected that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mediahistoryguy (talk • contribs) 00:21, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
