Ragtime Band
Words and Music
By Irving Berlin
Publication: New York:
Ted Snyder Co. Music Publishers, 112 West 36th St., 1911.
Many believe this was the first Ragtime piece.
We know this is far from the case, but it certainly
took off like a rocket when it first came out;
one of Mr. Berlin's first early hits.
In fact it sold over a million copies of sheet
music the first year.

Days
Words and Music By Irving Berlin

Berlin, Inc., 1607 Broadway, 1922.
From Irving's second "Music Box Review" comes this
beautiful song
about the days when men were gentlemen, and girls
were ladies
and chivalry and sweetness and romance prevailed.
When was
the last time a man kissed you on the hand or bowed
to you, ladies?
