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: "
Genevieve Lillian Hering, known by her
stage name Jeri Southern, (Aug. 5, 1926 - Aug. 4, 1991) was an
American jazz pianist &
singer. Born in
Royal,
Nebraska, Hering began playing piano at age three, & at age six started formal study in classical piano. She studied classical piano &
voice at
Sacred Heart in
Omaha, Nebraska, where she became interested in jazz. After beginning her career at the
Blackstone Hotel in Omaha she joined a
US Navy recruiting tour during
World War II. In the late 1940s she worked in
Chicago clubs where she once played piano for
Anita O'Day. She became known for what are known as
torch songs. She signed with
Decca Records in 1951 & became known both for
pop & jazz. The 1950s saw her at the height of her career. In 1955 her
recording of "An Occasional Man", reached #89 in the
Billboard pop chart. In that decade she sang in a few
films & in 1957 she had a
Top 30 hit with "Fire Down Below." The track peaked at #22 in the
UK Singles Chart in June 1957. After her switch to
Capitol Records she had success doing interpretations of
Cole Porter with
Billy May arranging some of the more humorous examples. In the 1960s she gave up the
music industry to teach & later moved to
Hollywood,
California to work on
film composing with
Hugo Friedhofer. She also wrote
Interpreting Popular Music At The Keyboard during her final years. She died in
