J. W. Myers

His recordings, including "Two Little Girls in Blue" (1893), "The Sidewalks of New York" (1895), "Just Tell Them That You Saw Me" (1895), "When You Were Sweet Sixteen" (1901), "On a Sunday Afternoon" (1902), "Way Down In Old Indiana" (1902), and "In the Good Old Summer Time" (1902), were among the most popular of the period.

He became regarded as "the foremost baritone ballad singer of his era",[3] and over his career he recorded probably hundreds of songs for many phonograph cylinder recording companies, including New Jersey Phonograph (later known as the United States Phonograph Company), Edison, Columbia, Berliner, and Victor.

Several were of songs made popular in Broadway musicals, such as "In the Good Old Summer Time" from The Defender, while others such as "Come Take A Trip In My Air-Ship" referenced modern technology.

He must have known Victor Emerson back in the early 1890s when he was head of the New Jersey Cylinder recording studio.

His life after that time is unknown; researcher Jim Walsh suggested that he may have died around 1919, although it is also possible that he returned to Wales.
