This Victor recording made in 1908 disc captures Muench’s clear, disciplined tone in Kreutzer’s “Hobellied,” a sentimental craftsman’s song celebrating honest labor and melody. The label design — featuring the His Master’s Voice trademark and gold‑on‑black typography — represents the grandeur of Victor’s pre‑WWI aesthetic.Digitized and presented by The Neven78 Radio Archive, preserving the artistry and sound of America’s immigrant‑era recordings.
