A Little Monday Music - Ada Jones & Billy Murray (1911)



Starting The Week off on a High Note
  • I have decided to try and start each new week off on a positive high note. But being a glass half empty kind of guy I suspect things will turn into crap soon enough.


"Come Josephine In my flying Machine" - performed by Ada Jones and Billy Murray & Chorus. Recorded November 1910, and released in 1911 on Edison Blue Amberol cylinder phonograph record.

Come Josephine was allegedly based upon Josephine Sarah Magner (April 22, 1883 – July 15, 1966), who was perhaps the first woman parachutist in America with her initial jump in 1905. 

She was married to early aviation pioneer Leslie Burt Haddock (April 10, 1878 – July 4, 1919), made hundreds of jumps, and assisted Haddock in the building of the first U.S. Army dirigible.
