Quigley "Dedicated to the Authors Unfortunate Namesake of New York, who died on Board". Store Web page states: "The sheet music [mmm] was published in 1898 [...] There is no publisher mentioned on the sheet music...this is usually an indication that the composer self-published the piece [...] the back cover was sold to Chicago's Hibernian Banking Association, which ran a full page ad in that space. The music was printed in Chicago by the Illinois Engraving Co. [...] [Quigley] he was also a performer who sang songs written by others (his picture, as a singer, appears on a number of other music sheets from the first decade of the 20th century). [...] Bessie Bonehill (1855?-1902) was a British-born entertainer who not only performed in British music halls but also was a star in American Vaudeville. She was known not only for her singing but for her specialty...male impersonations. [...] bearing the credit "Courtesy NY Journal" [...] The sheet music [...] measures about 10-1/4 x 13-5/8 inches" |
