[78-L] Whither Joe Hayman

[Eric]

Hi,


I have the following data on Joe Hayman. It was gathered many years ago for 
our database and I hope it is correct.

Although born in the United States in 1876 to immigrant parents from Poland, 
Joe Hayman moved to England in 1904, where he remained until the 1940s.  He 
became so popular that recordings companies released his records in both 
England and the United States.  It is for this reason that many of his 
recordings utilize geography and terminology that obviously originates from 
England.  The information comes from Ronald L. Smith, Comedy Stars at 78 
RPM: Biographies and Discographies of 89 American and British Recording 
Artists (Jefferson, North Carolina, 1998), 90-92
