Ernest Stevens (1894-1981), Honorary Member of AMICA, was Mr. Edison's personal pianist-arranger from 1922 to 1924 when Edison was experimenting with recording sounds and making recordings on wax cylinders. Mr. Stevens was involved with music until his death in 1981. His basic musical training was in Plainfield, New Jersey, with Howard Case. He was a prolific Edison recording artist, appearing on the Edison label as solo pianist, a member of his own trio and dance quartet and was the leader of his own dance orchestra. Records for Edison were under pseudonyms. After 1919 he gave instruction in piano and pipe organ. This very fine record was made in 1923.
