I've only heard Vernon Dalhart singing countless rural ballads in a very twangy nasal style, so it was a pleasant surprise to hear this Blue Amberol cylinder bought last weekend:
"The Nightingale's Song" (from "HMS Pinafore") Gilbert-Sullivan
BA 3385 (Issued January 1918)

I read that he began his career as an opera and concert tenor.
I think he handles this recording very well!
Enjoy
