The primary item was part of the collection of Henry J. Hauschild Jr., who billed himself as a “Physiognomist – Bibliopolist – Cognoscente di Eccellentissimoâ€, 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: "Harold Adamson (Dec. 10, 1906 – Aug. 17, 1980) was an American lyricist during the 1930s & 1940s. Adamson, the son of Harold Adamson & Marion "Minnie" Campbell Adamson, was born & raised in Greenville, New Jersey. Adamson suffered from polio as a child which limited the use of his right hand. Initially, Adamson was interested in acting but he began writing songs & poetry as a teenager. He went on to studying acting at the University of Kansas & Harvard. Ultimately he entered into a songwriting contract with MGM in 1933. During his stint with MGM he wrote many popular & successful songs, including the theme song for the hit sitcom "I Love Lucy". He was nominated for five Academy Award Nominations for lyrics to several original movie scores. He was also inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1972. Harold Adamson died in Beverly Hills, California.";

HISTORICAL NOTE: "Mack Gordon (born Morris Gittler, June 21, 1904 – March 1, 1959) was a Jewish-American composer & lyricist of songs for the stage & film. He was nominated for the best original song Oscar nine times, including six consecutive years between 1940 & 1945, & won the award once, for "You'll Never Know". That song has proved amongst his most enduring & remains popular in films & television commercials to this day. "At Last" is another of his best-known songs. Gordon was born in Warsaw & moved to New York City as a child. He appeared as a vaudeville actor & singer in the late 1920s & early 1930s but his songwriting talents were always paramount. He formed a partnership with English pianist Harry Revel that lasted throughout the 1930s. In the 1940s he worked with a string of other composers including Harry Warren. The Internet Movie Database states that Gordon's songs have been used in the soundtrack of over 100 films, Gordon writing specifically for at least 50 of them. His catalogue includes more than 120 songs sung by some of the world's most famous & talented performers such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Etta James, Glenn Miller, Barbra Streisand, Christina Aguilera, Mel Tormé, Nat King Cole, & many more. His friendship with many of his artists (such as Frank Sinatra & the Rat Pack) & his ability to write lyrics that were timeless allowed him to become a famous member of the world of music & a renowned lyricist. Thus there is perhaps no surprise that his exhibit in the Songwriters Hall of Fame says he is "arguably one of the most successful lyricists to write for the screen". He was entombed in Corridor of Immortality at Home of Peace Cemetery.

HISTORICAL NOTE: "Vincent Youmans (Sept. 27, 1898 - April 5, 1946) was an American popular composer & Broadway producer. Vincent Millie Youmans was born in New York City on September 27, 1898 & grew-up on Central Park West on the site where the Mayflower Hotel once stood. His father, a prosperous hat manufacturer, moved the family to upper-class Larchmont, New York. Youmans attended the Trinity School in Mamaroneck, NY & Heathcote Hall in Rye, New York. Originally, his ambition was to become an engineer & attended Yale for a short time. He dropped out to become a runner for a Wall Street brokerage firm before he was drafted to fight in World War I. He took an interest in the theatre when he produced troop shows for the Navy. After the war, he was a Tin Pan Alley song plugger for the TB Harms Company & then as a rehearsal pianist for famed composer Victor Herbert’s operettas. No, No, Nanette was the biggest musical-comedy success of the 1920s in both Europe & the USA & his two songs "Tea for Two" & "I Want to Be Happy" are considered standards. From 1927, Youmans also produced his own shows. He had another major success with Hit the Deck! (1927; including ‘Hallelujah’), but his subsequent productions were failures, though many of their songs remain popular. His last contributions to Broadway were some songs for Take a Chance (1932). Youmans collaborated with the greatest songwriters on Broadway: Herbert Stothart, Otto Harbach, Oscar Hammerstein II, Irving Caesar, Anne Caldwell, Leo Robin, Clifford Grey, Billy Rose, Edward Eliscu, Edward Heyman, Harold Adamson, Mack Gordon, Buddy De Sylva & Gus Kahn. He collaborated with lyricist Ira Gershwin on the score for Two Little Girls in Blue, which won wide acclaim. His next show, with lyrics by Otto Harbach & Oscar Hammerstein II, was Wildflower. His most enduring success, however, was No, No, Nanette, with lyrics by Irving Caesar. Youmans’s early songs are remarkable for their economy of melodic material: two-, three- or four-note phrases are constantly repeated & varied by subtle harmonic or rhythmic changes. In later years, however, apparently influenced by Jerome Kern, he turned to longer musical sentences & more free-flowing melodic lines. Youmans was forced to retire in 1934, after a professional career of only 13 years, only returning to Broadway to mount the ill-fated extravaganza The Vincent Youmans Ballet Revue (1943), an ambitious mix of Latin-American & classical music, including Ravel's Daphnis et Chloé. Choreographed by Leonide Massine, it lost some $4 million. More than any of his contemporaries, he made constant re-use of a limited number of melodies; he published fewer than 100 songs, but 18 of these were considered standards by ASCAP. He died of tuberculosis in Denver, Colorado. At his death, Youmans left behind a large quantity of unpublished material. In 1970, Youmans was inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame.";
