Nice to see you and say hi.
The song came out in 1908 - so the wiki is off by a year.
The Haydn Quartet recorded the song in 1908 on the Victor Record label #5570.
Also that year, Harvey Hindermeyer on the Columbia Standard Disc #586 recorded it in 1908 along with the one I posted (above) of the baritone Edward Meeker - on the Edison label.
edit: Here's a great source for info on the song - I received a "gift copy" from Tim Wiles for providing him with updates on the variations I was finding over the years.
