This is probably the oldest piece of sheet music I have. It was copyright in 1929. The reverse is printed with ads for other music books, such as:
Bottoms Up! A song book for Good Fellows - the Collection that puts Pep into any party. Contains chords for Guitar, Tenor-Banjo and Ukelele. Includes the words and music of more than 135 jolly songs for jolly people; also Toasts and Famous Quotations. Price 35 cents.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE sheet music and I collect it too...This is a wonderful one....I'll have to get out some of my favorites one of these days...and when you are feeling up to it I for one would love to see more of yours, too! Take very good care and tell Mr. Kenhu to get you some good Kosher Chicken Soup! It's the best and the cure-all!
Popped by from Michele's this evening, are you a collector of old music scores?
ReplyDelete1929, the year after my parents were born. Mom loves this song. I don't think I've ever heard the one below. My mom has a lot of really old music. She took piano for years starting as a child. Nyssa used some of the Hanon scales and finger exercise music when she took piano as well.
ReplyDeleteWow, great collection. I love your fans too. Michele sent me tonight. Feel better!
ReplyDeleteYou have the BEST STUFF!!!!! I love these!
ReplyDeleteAs someone who works in graphic design, seeing things that were created with what was called "hot type" is just wonderful.
The lay person has no idea how design has suffered thanks to computerized typography. There is absolutely no comparison, but unfortunately...it's cheap.
Just catching up here... hope you're feeling better!
Michele sent me your way today!
Are you sick again? I noticed something Naomi just said up there. Or maybe it's still the same flu.
ReplyDeleteYou surely are quite the collector!
Be well!
That 1936 piece was printed when my mom was one year old. That sure puts it into perspective!
ReplyDeleteGlad you dropped by and got to see a pic of my Sweet Girl. I bet you liked the sepia toned one; it has that antique feel. If it weren't for the winnie-the-pooh on the front of her jumper, maybe you could pass it off as one of your collection... tee hee!
Your sheet music is lovely. One of the comments said you were sick - hope you get well soon.
ReplyDeleteA collector's item to be sure. I love the old music.
ReplyDeleteI sang that one in my high school choir.
ReplyDeleteThat is one of my favorite songs to sing to my babies.
ReplyDeleteMy mom had tons of old sheet music. Lots of it was already wearing thin by the time I could really appreciate it. The only piece I was able to get my hands on was White Christmas by Irving Berlin.
ReplyDeleteMom used to work for a piano instructor who gave her a lot of his old pieces that were already a bit worn.
I'm enjoying looking over all your posts here about the sheet music, and yes, I'm kind of working backward again trying to catch up! :)
My husband's father (born in 1910) has sung "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" for as long as I've known him. I was left my husband's mother's powder/music box--given to her, of course, by Pop. It plays that tune!
ReplyDeleteAll of this helped mem one timem when I had to come up with a way of soothing an Alzheimer's patient at the local nursing home. I decided to sing (softly) to the man, and this is the only song that I could come up with (well, I could probably have sung "Strawberry Roan". Boy, was his wife surprised when she came back into the room!
