CHARLES HARRION (died 1965, age 74) was a tenor balladeer whose many hits included "Peg o' My Heart" (1913, "Ireland Must Be Heaven, for My Mother Came from There" (1916), and "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows" (1918).
He also was a member of the Columbia Stellar Quartet, Columbia Mixed Quartet, Revelers, and American Singers.
Tech Tidbits:
Columbia A3438 was transferred from a 78 rpm record that was enjoyed many times.
Noise from record wear has been diminished using a 2.3 mil stylus and digital
sound processing techniques, but it is still audible.
"Peggy O'Neil" was recorded in 1921. Harry Pease, Edward G. Nelson, and Gilbert Dodge wrote the music and lyrics.
