This performance was recorded in Quinn's hospital room by trumpeter / cornet player Johnny Wiggs. Restored from a very beat up 78 (https://archive.org/details/78_you-to...)
Quinn was born Edward McIntosh Quinn in McComb, Mississippi, and raised in Bogalusa, Louisiana. At an early age he could play guitar, mandolin, and violin. In his early teens he performed in vaudeville. He graduated from high school in 1924.
He performed with the Paul English Traveling Shows and Peck's Bad Boys led by Peck Kelley, in addition to Claude Blanchard, Mart Britt, the St. Louis Rhythm Kings, and the Louisiana Ramblers.
Quinn was hired by Paul Whiteman in New Orleans after Whiteman heard him playing backstage. He recorded with the Whiteman Orchestra, but he can hardly be heard. While playing for vocalist Bing Crosby in the 1930s, Quinn was given the nickname "Snoozer". Although he did not record with Crosby, he recorded with vocalist Bee Palmer and country singer Jimmie Davis.
Back in New Orleans, Quinn contracted tuberculosis. In 1948, Johnny Wiggs brought a recording machine and a trumpet to the hospital and persuaded him to play. Quinn died six months later.
