With my sincerest Christmas wishes to my viewers... Tenor Lewis James (1892-1959) reportedly made close to 3,000 records from 1917 through the 1930’s as a soloist, duet partner and quartet lead singer. His first recording with the Shannon Four (aka the Shannon Quartet) was the World War I chestnut, "All Aboard For Home Sweet Home." Like many of his colleagues, he proved exceedingly versatile in recording love ballads, hymns, children's songs, and the more sophisticated early jazz harmonies of the Revelers with whom he made several successful European tours. The Shannon Four, Revelers, Crescent Trio, and Merrymakers consisted mostly of the same singers, with occasional substitutes. Surprisingly, very little visual material of him is to be found today. This lovely record was made in 1922. I could not identify the accompanying orchestra.
