Cameo 908 A William Robyn JUST A COTTAGE SMALL

“Just a Cottage Small (By a Waterfall)” is a sentimental 1926 popular ballad performed by tenor William Robyn. The song paints an idyllic picture of a modest cottage, a waterfall, and a peaceful life shared with someone you love. Robyn’s warm, expressive tenor gives the recording the romantic, nostalgic quality characteristic of many of his Cameo performances during the 1920s. Robyn recorded the song circa March 1926, matrix 1863-C, and it was issued on Cameo 908. The other selection on Cameo 908 was his “There Are Two Sides to Every Story,” matrix 1862-B. Release date: 1926. Surviving Cameo documentation does not appear to establish an exact release day; discographer Tim Brooks specifically notes that exact recording and release dates are often unavailable for Cameo records. Given the March 1926 recording date and catalog sequence, spring 1926 is the best-supported release period.
