The primary item was part of the collection of Henry J. Hauschild Jr., who billed himself as a âPhysiognomist â Bibliopolist â Cognoscente di Eccellentissimoâ, and was the very proud owner of the world famous "Nose Galleryâ at âThe Oldest Houseâ 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: "Clarence Smith, better known as Pinetop Smith or Pine Top Smith (June 11, 1904 â March 15, 1929) was an Americanboogie-woogie style bluespianist. His hit tune, "Pine Top's Boogie Woogie," featured rhythmic "breaks" that were an essential ingredient of ragtime music.nHe was a posthumous 1991 inductee of the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame. Smith was born in Troy, Alabama & raised in Birmingham, Alabama. He received his nickname as a child from his liking for climbing trees. In 1920 he moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he worked as an entertainer before touring on the T. O. B. A.vaudeville circuit, performing as a singer & comedian as well as a pianist. For a time he worked as accompanist for blues singer Ma Rainey & Butterbeans & Susie. In the mid 1920s he was recommended by Cow Cow Davenport to J. Mayo Williams at Vocalion Records, & in 1928 he moved, with his wife & young son, to Chicago, Illinois to record. For a time he, Albert Ammons, & Meade Lux Lewis lived in the same rooming house. On 29 Dec. 1928 he recorded his influential "Pine Top's Boogie Woogie," one of the 1st "boogie woogie" style recordings to make a hit, & which cemented the name for the style. Pine Top talks over the recording, telling how to dance to the number. He said he originated the number at a house-rent party in St. Louis, Missouri. Smith was the 1st ever to direct "the girl with the red dress on" to "not move a peg" until told to "shake that thing" & "mess around". Smith was scheduled to make another recording session for Vocalion in 1929, but died from a gunshot wound in a dance-hall fight in Chicago the day before the session. Sources differ as to whether he was the intended recipient of the bullet. "I saw Pinetop spit blood" was the famous headline in Down Beat magazine. No photographs of Smith are known to exist. Smith was acknowledged by other boogie woogie pianists such as Albert Ammons & Pete Johnson as a key influence, & he gained posthumous fame when "Boogie Woogie" was arranged for big band & recorded by Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra in 1938. Although not immediately successful, "Boogie Woogie" was so popular during & after World War II that it became Dorsey's best selling record, with over five million copies sold. Bing Crosby also recorded his version of the song. From the 1950s, Joe Willie Perkins became universally known as "Pinetop Perkins" for his recording of "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie". Perkins later became Muddy Waters' pianist & later, when in his nineties, recorded a song on his 2004 Ladies' Man album, which played on the by-then-common misconception that Perkins had himself written "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie". Ray Charles adapted "Pine Top's Boogie Woogie" for his song "Mess Around", for which the authorship was credited to "A. Nugetre", Ahmet Ertegun. In 1975 the Bob Thiele Orchestra recorded a modern jazz album called I Saw Pinetop Spit Blood that included a treatment of "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie" as well as the title song. Gene Taylor recorded a version of "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie" on his eponymous 2003 album.";

HISTORICAL NOTE: "Hartzell Strathdene "Tiny" Parham (Feb. 25, 1900, Winnipeg, Canada â April 4, 1943, Milwaukee, Wisconsin) was a Canadian-born American jazz bandleader & pianist of African-American descent. Parham grew up in Kansas City where he worked as a pianist at The Eblon Theatre being mentored by the ragtime pianist & composer James Scott, and later touring with territory bands in the Southwestern US before moving to Chicago in 1926. He is best remembered for the recordings he made in Chicago between 1927 & 1930, as an accompanist for Johnny Dodds & several female blues singers as well as with his own band. Most of the musicians Parham played with are not well known in their own right, though cornetistPunch Miller, banjoistPapa Charlie Jackson, saxophone player Junie Cobb & bassistMilt Hinton are exceptions. His entire recorded output for Victor are highly collected & appreciated as prime examples of late 1920's jazz. Parham favored the violin & many of his records have a surprisingly sophisticated violin solos, along with the typical upfront tuba, horns & reeds. After 1930 Parham found work in theater houses, especially as an organist; his last recordings were made in 1940. His entire recorded output fits on two compact discs. The cartoonist R. Crumb included a drawing of Parham in his classic 1982 collection of trading cards & later book "Early Jazz Greats". Parham was the only non-American born so included. The book also includes a bonus cd which has a Parham track.";
HISTORICAL NOTE: "Joseph William Perkins (July 7, 1913 â March 21, 2011), known by the stage name Pinetop Perkins, was an Americanbluesmusician, specializing in piano music. He played with some of the most influential blues & rock & roll performers in American history, & received numerous honors during his lifetime including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, & induction into the Blues Hall of Fame. Perkins was born in Belzoni, Mississippi, US. He began his career as a guitarist, but then injured the tendons in his left arm in a fight with a choirgirl in Helena, Arkansas. Unable to play guitar, Perkins switched to the piano, & also switched from Robert Nighthawk's KFFAradio program to Sonny Boy Williamson's King Biscuit Time. He continued working with Nighthawk, however, accompanying him on 1950's "Jackson Town Gal". In the 1950s, Perkins joined Earl Hooker & began touring, stopping to record "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie" (written by Pinetop Smith) at Sam Phillips' studio in Memphis, Tennessee. ("They used to call me Pinetop," he recalled, "because I played that song.") However, Perkins was only 15 years old in 1928, when Smith originally recorded "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie". Perkins then relocated to Illinois & left the music business until Hooker convinced him to record again in 1968. When Otis Spann left the Muddy Waters band in 1969, Perkins was chosen to replace him. He stayed for more than a decade, then left with several other musicians to form The Legendary Blues Band with Willie "Big Eyes" Smith, recording through the late 1970s, 1980s & early 1990s. Perkins played a brief musical cameo on the street outside Aretha's Soul Food Cafe in the 1980 movie The Blues Brothers, having an argument with John Lee Hooker over who wrote "Boom Boom." He also appeared in the 1987 movie Angel Heart as a member of guitarist Toots Sweet's band. Although he appeared as a sideman on countless recordings, Perkins never had an album devoted solely to his artistry, until the release of After Hours on Blind Pig Records in 1988. The tour in support of the album also featured Jimmy Rogers & Hubert Sumlin. His robust piano is fairly presented in On Top (1992), an easy-going recital of blues standards with his old Waters' associate, Jerry Portnoy on harmonica. In 1998 Perkins released the albumLegends featuring guitarist Hubert Sumlin. Perkins was driving his automobile in 2004 in La Porte, Indiana, when he was hit by a train. The car was wrecked, but the 91-year-old driver was not seriously hurt. Until his death, Perkins lived in Austin, Texas. He usually performed a couple of nights a week at Nuno's on Sixth Street. In 2005, Perkins received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2008, Perkins received a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album for Last of the Great Mississippi Delta Bluesmen: Live In Dallas together with Henry James Townsend, Robert Lockwood, Jr. and David Honeyboy Edwards. He was also nominated in the same category for his solo album, Pinetop Perkins on the 88's: Live in Chicago. The song "Hey Mr. Pinetop Perkins", performed by Perkins & Angela Strehli, played on the common misconception that Perkins wrote "Pinetop's Boogie Woogie":
Hey Mr. Pinetop Perkins
I got a question for you
How'd you write that first boogie woogie
The one they named after you
At the age of 97, he won a Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album for Joined at the Hip, an album he recorded with Willie "Big Eyes" Smith. Perkins thus became the oldest-ever Grammy winner, edging out comedian George Burns who had won in the spoken word category 21 years earlier (he had tied with Burns, at the age of 95, in 2004). A little more than a month later, Perkins died on 21 March 2011 at his home in Austin, Texas. At the time of his death, the musician had more than 20 performances booked for 2011. Shortly before that, while discussing his late career resurgence with an interviewer, he conceded, "I can't play piano like I used to either. I used to have bass rolling like thunder. I can't do that no more. But I ask the Lord, please forgive me for the stuff I done trying to make a nickel." Along with David "Honeyboy" Edwards, he was one of the last two original MississippiDelta blues musicians, & also to have a personal knowledge of, & friendship with, Robert Johnson.
