Ramona S. Baker
Hey there record scholars! I am R.S. Baker, a cartoonist, scholar, and collector of the earliest sound recordings. I've studied recordings from 1888 to 1920 for nearly a decade. My most focused interest lies in the studio pianists and musicians, such as Fred Hylands, Frank P. Banta, Justin Ringleben, etc. Enjoy the reading!
