Re: A blast from many pasts
Gee dj. . . I didn't know. . .that was wonderful.
You wrote the Lyrics? That was terrific. Don't ever lose that music sheet. Print multiple copies and save on a Flash Drive. I would love to have seen the theatrical use of the song. . .and the play!! Snappy (and witty) never go out of style. "Neither does truth". . .Wife said! Jeffrey610 |

Re: A blast from many pasts
Hi, Jeffrey:
I can't claim authorship. It's a 1916 Tin Pan Alley number by Fred Fischer and Grant Clarke. Clarke did the lyrics. What I did was take a bunch of those old, largely forgotten numbers and worked them into a script that was taken from the archives of Canada's Marks Brothers (from my hometown), known in their day as 'Canada's Kings of Repertoire'. They toured Canada and the northern U.S. for more than 40 years and played to more than 8,000,000 people -- in the days of steam trains and horse-drawn carriages. The show is called 'The Lure of the Lights' and you can see the script and score from the links on the Marks Brothers Melodrama page at my website playsfromdavidjacklin.ca. Along with about 35 of my works. |
