The primary item was part of the collection of Henry J. Hauschild Jr., who billed himself as a “Physiognomist – Bibliopolist – Cognoscente di Eccellentissimo”, and was the very proud owner of the world famous "Nose Gallery” at “The Oldest House” in Victoria, Texas. Henry Senior founded the Hauschild Music Company which was later owned by his 8 children and eventually the four brothers before being closed in 1980; After the Opera House Restaurant failed, the space became the Bible Book Store and later Opera House Antiques; This item was part of the leftover inventory of the Music Store and at one time was on consignment at the Bible Book Store;

"Musicologist and historian, Delmer Rogers, longtime member of the staff of the Department of Music at the University of Texas, is of the opinion that the Hauschild Music Company, founded in Victoria, Texas in 1891, was the second oldest institution to commercially publish sheet music in Texas. (Thos. Goggan of Houston being the first.) Also, his extensive research indicates that Hauschild's was the first in Texas to issues music with Spanish titles. About thirty were published, many by talented writers, and sold in large numbers. In addition, probing seems to prove that Hauschilds was the first to publish the efforts of several of the music-loving Germans of the area. Most interesting, too, is that the spritely composition, the Cowboy Rag offered in 1904 possibly was the purcursor of this genre of popular music." taken from "The Cognoscenti Collections";

HISTORICAL NOTE: "Larry Markes (September 24, 1921 – May 19, 1999) was an American who provided jokes, sketches, songs & screenplays during a career that lasted more than 50 years. Markes was born in Brooklyn, New York, & decided at an early age to become a writer. Soon after graduating from the University of Miami, he started setting lyrics to the melody of another young songwriter, Dick Charles. Their 1st hit was "Mad About Him, Sad About Him, How Can I Be Glad Without Him Blues" (1942), which Dinah Shore recorded successfully for Columbia Records. During World War II, Markes was in the US Army Air Corps. He left the service in 1945, returning to New York & his songwriting collaboration with Charles. They wrote "Along the Navajo Trail", with Eddie De Lange, which was recorded by Bing Crosby & the Andrews Sisters, Dinah Shore & the Gene Krupa Band. Other songs included "I Tipped My Hat (& Slowly Rode Away)," "It Takes a Long, Long Train with a Red Caboose to Carry My Blues Away," & was "May You Always." Markes also began writing continuity for radio programmes. After moving to Los Angeles, California in the 1960s, he turned to screenwriting, including the films For Love or Money (1963), & Wild & Wonderful (1965), which starred Tony Curtis. He also wrote for television series Bonanza, Love American Style, McHale's Navy, The Flintstones, Room for One More, My Three Sons, The Jonathan Winters Show & I Dream of Jeannie. During Ronald Reagan's two terms as Governor of California (1966–1974), Markes added humour into his political speeches. Markes died in Los Angeles in May 1999, at the age of 77.

HISTORICAL NOTE: ""May You Always" is a popular song by Larry Markes & Dick Charles (pseudonym of Richard Charles Krieg), published in 1959. The biggest hit version in the US was by The McGuire Sisters (#11 on the Billboard Hot 100); in the UK, by Joan Regan (#9 in the UK Singles Chart). The song was also subsequently covered by Bobby Vinton & Maureen Evans. It should not be confused with the 1965 narrative by NYC disc jockey Harry Harrison, although both contain "Auld Lang Syne" as an element of the melody or backing."; This 1950s pop song-related article is a stub.
