"As The Summer Days Go By"

Jere Mahoney

Edison Record 7865

Paul J. Knox song

The tenor Jere Mahoney made recordings as a solo artist but also sang with the Edison Male Quartet and Haydn Quartet in the late 1890s.

He specialized in sentimental songs.

Edison Standard cylinders featuring Mahoney include "After the Battle Is Over" (5900, issued in 1898), "When You Were Sweet Sixteen" (Edison 7410, issued in early 1900) and "A Bird in a Gilded Cage" (Edison 7440, issued in mid-1900).

His last Edison recording was "I'd Lay Down My Life For You" (7951), issued in October 1901.

Concert-size (five-inch diameter) cylinder records include "In The Baggage Coach Ahead" (B104), "Break The News To Mother" (B105), and "My Old New Hampshire Home" (B107). He recorded at least nine titles for Concert cylinders, all before 1900.

He ceased recording for Edison soon before the company switched from brown wax cylinders to Gold-Moulded black wax. A photograph of 42 Edison recording artists taken in 1900 in West Orange, New Jersey, shows Mahoney sitting next to Albert Campbell and George W. Johnson.

He made three Berliner discs on November 1, 1898: "There Is A Warm Spot In My Heart For You Baby" (1912), "When The Troops Come Home" (1913), and "After The Battle Is Over" (1914).

When Mahoney contracted inflammatory rheumatism in 1899, Harry Macdonough replaced him as first tenor of the popular Haydn Quartet, but Mahoney recorded sporadically for another two years--never for Eldridge R. Johnson's Consolidated Talking Machine Company.
