"In The Valley Of The Moon" is a song by Jeff Branen & Alfred Solman
Sung by Elizabeth Spencer and Vernon Archibald on Edison Blue Amberol 2300 (1914)
I hear you calling me--no use to sigh.
Stop your worrying. I'll be hurrying
to you bye and bye. Night shades
are gathering. I'll join you soon.
We'll be strolling shortly, you and I,
in the Valley of the Moon.
...in the Valley of the Moon where
I met you one night in June.
When I passed you by, thought I heard
you sigh while the night birds were in tune.
I was lonesome--so were you. There was
nothing for us to do but to lose our hearts,
both you and I, in the Valley of the Moon.
I hear the nightingale singing his song
to his lady love in her nest above.
It won't be so long till I'll be warbling
love's old sweet tune to the only one
I ever loved in the Valley of the Moon
Elizabeth Spencer was born Elizabeth Dickerson on April 12, 1871.
Her father died eight months later.
In 1874, her mother was remarried. Her new husband was Colonel William Gilpin, who had served as the first governor of the Territory of Colorado in 1861.
The family moved to Denver.
Spencer received vocal training and learned to sing, recite stories and poetry and play piano and violin.
She graduated from St. Mary’s Academy in Englewood, Colorado.
She married Otis Spencer, an attorney.
Spencer sang in churches, concerts, clubs, parties and amateur theatricals.
By 1910 she was residing in New York City and making her first recordings. Signing an exclusive contract with Edison’s company, Spencer was busy.
She made solo recordings, and she also worked in duets, trios, quartets and choruses.
One group was the Homestead Trio, which consisted of Spencer and two other female vocalists, Amy Ellerman and Betsy Lane Shepherd.
The records of Vernon Archibald, a baritone, did not sell well.
Charles Harrison formed the American Singers Quartet around 1927, with tenor Redferne Hollinshead, bass Frank Croxton, and baritone Vernon Archibald.
Archibald recorded several solo and duet songs for many different companies--mostly for Edison Records.
According to the New York Times (March 26, 1920), Vernon Archibald was a baritone from Chicago.
