Silverheels
Intermezzo - Two Step (1905)
Music by Neil Moret
Poem by James O'Dea
Publication: Jerome H. Remick
& Co., Detroit - NY
At the turn of the 19th to 20th century,
a plethora
of Indian themes hit the sheet music
industry. I wasn't really sure
what the appeal was to them....until
I heard songs as cute as this one.
My two youngest children love to
dance to this song, so this is for them.

The
Trail Of The Lonesome Pine
Words by Ballard MacDonald and Music by Harry Carroll
(1912)
This song is so adorable! It was based on the first
novel to sell a million copies,
The Trail of the Lonesome Pine, in 1908,
written by John Fox Jr. 6 films were made of the
story,
including one in 1936 with Henry Fonda, Fred MacMurray
and Sylvia Sydney
...the first outdoor major film to be made in Technicolor.
