Found these four sides by
"Benny Borg, The Singing Soldier" (transfers from 78s) over at archive.org -- apparently, nothing is known about Benny Borg except that he was from Georgia.
According to the info at archive.org, these four sides were
recorded on April 02, 1927 and issued as Columbia 15148-D and 15183-D:
Columbia 15148-D
I Want a Pardon for Daddy
You're Going to Leave the Old Home Jim, Tonight
Columbia 15183-D
A Concert Hall on the Bowery
Pictures from Life's Other Side
"A Concert Hall on the Bowery" is better known under the title "She's More to Be Pitied Than Censured":
"An outdated concept about a fallen woman brought tears to they eyes of America in 1895. William B Gray wrote this song about a girl flirting with men on the Bowery and explains that is was a callous man who caused it. Sheet music sales were strong even before it was introduced in Vaudeville skyrocketing it in popularity. By the 1920s however the song was already a subject to much ridicule for it's outdated standards. In 1951 Beatrice Kay did a campy version sarcastically mocking it in the chorus."

I have been collecting folk recordings, mostly by artists from the United States and the British Isles, for about 40 years. This blog is intended to share a few of these recordings (all believed to be Public Domain under EU law where this blog originates) and make them available online for research and scholarship in accordance with the Copyright Act of 1976, 17 U.S.C. § 107. Also included are links to other interesting blogs, websites, and freely available folk audio and video.

I'm not quite sure but wasn't "Pictures from Life's Other Side" recorded by the Georgia Yellow Hammers earlier? Borg was from Georgia, perhaps a connection?
