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";

We three, we're all alone
Living in a memory
My echo, my shadow, and me
We three, we're not a crowd
We're not even company
My echo, my shadow, and me
What good is the moonlight
The silvery moonlight that shines above?
I walk with my shadow
I talk with my echo
but where is the one I love?
We three, we'll wait for you
Even till eternity
my echo, my shadow, and me
SPOKEN: We three we're all alone. Seems like we're living in a memory.
That's my echo my shadow and me. We three we ain't no crowd.
Fact is we ain't even company. That's my echo my shadow and me.
You know I been wondering-what good is the moonlight that silvery moonlight
that shines way, way up above? Yeah, I walk with my shadow, I talk with my echo,
but where is that gal that I love? We three, we'll wait for you.
Even till eternity My echo, my shadow, and me.";

HISTORICAL NOTE: "
Dick Robertson--one of the busiest big band & studio singers from the late '20s through the early '40s--eventually pushed the microphone away, sat down & got busy writing songs of his own. This catalog of songs includes the slightly melancholy "I'm a Little on the Lonely Side" as well as "We Three", a melody-a-trois that has been mistakenly interpreted as a precursor to
David Crosby's notorious "Triad".
Robertson's career opened up in the Roaring Twenties: he was active in live performances as both a soloist & in duo with
Ed Smalle before realizing that his voice was perfectly suited for the newly developing recording industry.
Robertson kept so busy cutting vocal tracks that he apparently made use of a stack of pseudonyms in order to quell potential rebellion amongst label managers & audience alike. The trick would not phase future jazz critics, who tend to pan his vocals under whatever name. Pianist
Eubie Blake may have made the most vivid use of the
Robertson pipes, presenting the vocalist as basically the main solo voice in a large ensemble grouping. The singer also recorded with
Duke Ellington,
The Mills Blue Rhythm Band,
Benny Goodman,
Andy Kirk & many others.
Robertson also cut a variety of sides as a leader, organizing ensembles dubbed the
Dick Robertson Orchestra with the type of studio musicians who kept as busy as he did during this era. Aliases for this performer, who also played violin on records every now & then, include
Ray Carroll & Bobby Dick. His final recording session under his real name took place in 1949 for the Coral label with
Owen Bradley producing--suggesting that
Robertson may have been on the verge of going country.";
