(Make
It Rosy For Me)

And The Bee

Down By The Meadow
Brook
Words by Edgar Leslie, Music by Pete Wendling (1919)
An absolutely beautifully constructed and idyllic
song

of
nature and love. Heard in the DVD soundtrack for
one of my favorite silent film classics, Tol'able

Love
Will Find A Way
Written by Eubie Blake and Noble Sissle
From the early all-black Broadway musical "Shuffle
Along" (1921)
Only two geniuses could have written such a brilliant,
gorgeous melody!
I sang this all day after I created the song page;
it's that catchy a tune.
How could this song be forgotten? It boggles my
mind!
I'm bringing it back. :)

Ciribiribin
Composed by A. Pestalozza (1898)
English Lyrics in 1909 Sheet Music Featuring Enrico
Caruso by Henry Sawyer
The English lyrics for this classic Italian song
are very, very funny.
Ciribiribin is the name of his girlfriend - but
it seems she is too popular to stay true to one man.

Palesteena
Written by Con Conrad and Russel Robinson (1920)
A fat girl who plays the concertina goes to Arabia
to play her instrument - her efforts are so strenuous
that she loses weight and all the sheiks want her.
Don't you just love Tin Pan Alley? ;)

Beautiful
Isle
Of Somewhere
Music by J.S. Fearis and Words by Jessie Brown Pounds
(1897 - 1901)
A radical departure from all the other songs on
this page,
this gorgeous spiritual song is almost like a hymn.
Assassinated US President William McKinley
loved the song and it was played at his funeral
in 1901
It can also be heard in the soundtrack for the 1912
Edison Silent
"The Land Beyond The Sunset" and photo snapshots
from that
beautiful film adorn the song page
