If For No Other Reason - Because They Are Still Great,
By
This review is from: A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody and Other Favorite Song Hits, 1918-1919 (Paperback)
In fact, some of these songs have become jazz standards, such as After You've Gone and Hidustan. This is a great time capsule, people, and if you like American song, it needs to be opened. There's plenty of some of the best of Jolson, a few WWI memories, a taste of the stage (including the signature title piece), and plenty of comedy. There is also lots of contrast in style within, in spite of the limited period of time in which these pieces were published. A study of that facet alone is worth the time of any music student interested in popular song evolution. And you can always write me for further information on nearly any of the pieces. Quit reading - just do it!Note that some of these songs are on my site, and all the listings for all Dover ragtime books are there as well, with links back to this page.

Good For My Purpose,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Pretty Girl is Like a Melody and Other Favorite Song Hits, 1918-1919 (Paperback)
For a number of year, I have written and published plays. Occasionally, I would wish to used an older piece of music as part of the play. You can lawfully do that if the piece of music is in the public domain. As such, you will probably need the first edition of the song. A more recent version may include new material and that version may not be in the public domain. This book gave me copies of first editions.
