The more famous half of this comic duo is Billy Golden, a Vaudeville veteran and active from the earliest days of phonograph recording. Like Arthur Collins, Golden specialized in imitating the American Negro. Joe Hughes is his
straight-man on this recording they did for an Edison cylinder in 1914. The bit itself is a quick education about how much work there really is to do on a "quaint family farm". (another take of this
same bit can be heard at the "Cylinders On the Web" archive.)
