“Edison Blue Amberol 5000‑Series Cylinder – “Where the Pussy Willow Whispers to the Catnip”

“Where the Pussy Willow Whispers to the Catnip” is an original Edison Blue Amberol 5000‑Series cylinder (#5366) performed by Vaughn DeLeath, one of the most recognizable voices of the early radio era. Known as “The Original Radio Girl,” DeLeath brought a warm, intimate vocal style that translated beautifully to Edison’s late‑period cylinder recordings.
