The Okeh Laughing Record

[Dread Scott]

The woman on the Laughing Record is a German comedienne by the name of Luci Bernardo, and I've always figured the laughing was something she'd come up with in her stage act. Or it could be that the cornet player, one Otto Rathke, came to the studio that day without his pants. Either way, nobody seems to know for sure!

Thanks, Miss Lizzie!

So, Some mystery still remains...

We used to have a copy of the Laughing Record when I was a kid. I loved it then and i still love it. Tickles my ribs every time. But this is my all time favourite laughing record....
