	SULLIVAN JOSEPH J.: I’M Going to Be Married Next Sunday. New York,Harding Brothers. (1890) . With lettered only cover. The great song of 1888 was Joseph J. Sullivan’s Where did you get that Hat. Sullivan had been a blackface comedian and acrobatic singer who personally introduced the song at Miners Eighth Avenue Theatre in New York and it became an immediate hit. He had been looking for an opening song and a theme for his act and had found an eccentric hat and when he wore his new hat to his parents house all the children shouted the phrase at him and thus the song. The title became a slang catch phrase and even crossed the Atlantic to make its mark on the British Music Hall being sung by J.G.Heffron although it had a different lyric writer James Rolmaz which suggests it was Anglicised. This 1890 song was also part of that same Sullivan act. Sullivan’s other noted song was Blackthorn.Condition very good. € (euro) 14.00 [Appr.: US$ 20.97 \| £UK 12.75 \| JP¥ 1852] Book number: 1033 Click here to order or inquire at Olde Musick & Cokery Books.
	SCANLAN W.J.: Peggy O’ Moore . New York , T.B. Harms of Broadway .(1885). With a blue and brown lettered & framed cover. This was the follow up hit for Scanlan after his first hit show The Irish Minstrel. William J. Scanlan(1856-96) was a fine singer even at thirteen years of age and after a successful partnership with an Irish comedian called Cronin, he branched out on his own and in 1881 he starred in his first show on Broadway. 1882 saw the appearance of the Irish Minstrel and My Nellie’s Blue Eyes which was note for note a Venetian folk tune Veni Sal Mar. Nellie was herself then parodied to become Charle Coburn music hall hit Two Lovely Black Eyes, which is still sung today, usually after a heavy drinking session. Scanlan’s show for 1885 was entitled Shane Na Lawn and Peggy Moore was the outstanding song from that show. Scanlan faded in the 1890’s but remains a major figure in American music history.

	BUIRKE & WELLMAN JNR: Brannigan’S Band. New York, W.F. Wellman Jnr. of East 13th Street .(1877). With ornate monochrome frame with the titles inset.The composer/publisher and lyricist remains farily obscure, although William Wellman wrote the Telegraph Galop (1865) which was published by J.T. Gordon. Fortunately the singer Lydia Thompson(1836-1908) was a considerable British singing and performing presence in America between 1868-70 and a further two tours. During that time her troupe of British Blondes caused sensations wherever they went and almost singlehandedly promoted burlesque and certainly filled theatres with scantily clad actresses. Even in her own country she was a major force in music hall,burlesque from 1856 until her last performance in the theatre in 1904. Folio size with music.

	SCHUBERT F.L.: Poet and Peasant Waltz. Boston,W.A. Evans & Bro of Broomfield Street .(1881-5). With a simple monochrome frame and titles inset. Rather a strange one this. The Poet and Peasant Overture was written by Suppe(1820-95) and F.L. Schubert is neither Franz Peter or Ferdinand but might be the Dresden violinist/composer Franz Schubert(1808-78) Nevertheless this is likely to be based upon Suppe’s famous piece.

	SULLIVAN JOSEPH J.: I’M Going to Be Married Next Sunday. New York,Harding Brothers. (1890) . With lettered only cover. The great song of 1888 was Joseph J. Sullivan’s Where did you get that Hat. Sullivan had been a blackface comedian and acrobatic singer who personally introduced the song at Miners Eighth Avenue Theatre in New York and it became an immediate hit. He had been looking for an opening song and a theme for his act and had found an eccentric hat and when he wore his new hat to his parents house all the children shouted the phrase at him and thus the song. The title became a slang catch phrase and even crossed the Atlantic to make its mark on the British Music Hall being sung by J.G.Heffron although it had a different lyric writer James Rolmaz which suggests it was Anglicised. This 1890 song was also part of that same Sullivan act. Sullivan’s other noted song was Blackthorn.Condition very good. € (euro) 14.00 [Appr.: US$ 20.97 \| £UK 12.75 \| JP¥ 1852] Book number: 1033 Click here to order or inquire at Olde Musick & Cokery Books.

Scanlan(1856-96) was a fine singer even at thirteen years of age and after a successful partnership with an Irish comedian called Cronin, he branched out on his own and in 1881 he starred in his first show on Broadway. 1882 saw the appearance of the Irish Minstrel and My Nellie’s Blue Eyes which was note for note a Venetian folk tune Veni Sal Mar. Nellie was herself then parodied to become Charle Coburn music hall hit Two Lovely Black Eyes, which is still sung today, usually after a heavy drinking session. Scanlan’s show for 1885 was entitled Shane Na Lawn and Peggy Moore was the outstanding song from that show. Scanlan faded in the 1890’s but remains a major figure in American music history.
