" John W. Myers, who was usually credited as J. W. Myers, was a Welsh-born baritone singer, who recorded widely in the United States between the early 1890s and early 1917. His recordings, including "Two Little Girls in Blue" (1893), "The Sidewalks of New York" (1895), "Just Tell Them That You Saw Me" (1895), "When You Were Sweet Sixteen" (1901), "On a Sunday Afternoon" (1902), "Way Down In Old Indiana" (1902), and "In the Good Old Summer Time" (1902), were among the most popular of the period.
Little is known of his life, although he is believed to have been born in Wales and emigrated to the US at the age of 12 in the 1870s. He worked at various jobs before becoming a theatre manager in New York City. By 1892, he was identified as an already seasoned recording artist, suggesting that he may have first recorded as early as 1890.
His first successful recordings were in 1892. He became regarded as "the foremost baritone ballad singer of his era", and over his career he recorded probably hundreds of songs for many phonograph cylinder recording companies, including New Jersey Phonograph, later known as United States Phonograph, Edison, Columbia, Berliner, and Victor. In 1895 he resigned from his position in the theatre in order to join a touring opera, and in 1896 set up his own short-lived cylinder company, the Globe Talking Machine Company. " - Wiki

"Robert Price ( Baritone ) was manager of a retail store opened by Emile Berliner in 1900. He was recruited to make Canadian recordings of songs previously released by American and European artists, as well as a few original titles." - Archives Canada
