Thank you, friend Tobyjj! You'll be thrilled to know that, yes, I did download the previous posting and am enjoying all of Mary Lou's compositions that you're sharing!

No, I'm sorry that I don't know anything about Sharon Pease (sorry I forgot to answer that earlier).

Well, although I'm not posting anything in this thread today, I did just post 3 rags in the Rags Thread.

My best,

Rob

This foxtrot by José Padilla is about as enthralling
as the Olympic Opening Ceremony (not very).

Thanks Timtin, I appreciate it! It's interesting to me.

Toby, I'm posting this midi especially for you.

Best to all,

Rob

This is another foxtrot to enjoy, hopefully.

The foxtrot isn't something one'd usually associate with Siberia.

Unless you were a Siberian fox?

Hi Everyone,

Timtin, thanks for your latest posting! Is that from a book you own? I noticed that this new piece began on page 130(!) and I couldn't help but wonder what was in the rest of the book!

In May of 2011 Frank posted this piece. Apparently he has a pretty decent photocopy of a British printing. Here's the original published in New York City. The back cover has photos of Jack Yellen & Milton Ager songwriters ("Ain't She Sweet,"for example) and music publishers. Yellen died just a few months short of his 99th birthday!

The good news is there was enough dead space on the left and right of the cover to fit the whole image on the scanner. The bad news is that, yes, the inside front cover was printed crooked (as was the 2nd page of music, but, that tilt is slight). I'm also posting a fresh midi with the few errors noted and corrected.

Best to all,

Rob

Hi Rob C.
Firstly, thanks for all the files you've posted in this thread!
Secondly, in answer to your question about what was in the rest of the book,
it's best answered by the file below.
At some time in the 1920's in England, a weekly publication called Music For All
appeared, containing information about popular music of the time, plus some
actual music scores.
These scores were later bound into 4 volumes, of which I have Vols.1 and 4.
The indexes of these two volumes are given in this uncleaned file.
If anything is of interest, please indicate.
I decided not to scan the entire books a) because they are something of a
hotch-potch musically, and b) because of the time it would have taken,
especially the cleaning, which seems to take forever.
