The Edison 1902 list included “Sadie, Say You Won’t Say Nay” (#8037), plus “In the Moonlight with the Girl You Love” (#8044), and two others. There were further duets on Edison cylinders, with Will Oakland and Albert Campbell, then recordings for U-S Everlasting Records, with Frank Coombs. Thompson cut 14 sides for Victor, in two sessions: 30 Nov 1903 and 21 June 1904. He did not record after 1913. He died in Chicago. [Walsh 1951/5.]Swedish contralto, born in Venjan.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
