He was described at the time of his death as "almost beyond a doubt the most popular man in Washington". At the same time as his legal career, he became a leading stage entertainer and recording artist. By 1900, he had begun performing newly-fashionable "rag-time" music, and formed the Birenomore Quartette with three friends. O'Connor became a popular entertainer at events hosted by such organizations as the Gridiron Club, the National Press Club, the Alfalfa Club, the Knights of Columbus, and the Bar Association. He also recorded prolifically as a tenor singer between 1914 and 1918, specializing in dialect material , as well as other popular songs and light opera. Some of his successful recordings included "Everybody Rag With Me" (1915) and "Pray For the Lights to Go Out" (1917). O'Connor was the favored entertainer of a succession of US Presidents, from Taft to Truman, particularly at White House Correspondents' Association dinners, and became known as the "Troubadour to the Presidents". He died in 1946, aged 72, of a heart ailment. The majority of his recorded output is represented in this CD release. Most of the songs are ragtime in nature and have comic lyrics. All selections have been digitally restored. ***************************************** Several Items will have a symbol next to a song. You can listen to a sound clip with the windows media player.
