Title A name given to the resource Janice Cleary Description An account of the resource Janice M Cleary, a lifelong resident of Omaha, Nebraska, has always enjoyed music. Her father studied voice, and her parents sang in the St. John’s choir and hosted music parties in their family home. Janice became interested in ragtime in the late 1950s, and began collecting sheet music. At first, she limited her collection the works of Irving Berlin and ragtime tunes, but her passion for sheet music soon widened in scope. Her collection has grown to nearly 50,000 pieces of American popular music. Janice shared items from her collection that were either written by Omahans or were published in Omaha. Music by Maceo Pinkard, one time Omaha booking agent, music publisher, band leader and eventual composer of “Sweet Georgia Brown,” is just one of the artists in her collection. She also has the “Happy Feeling Rag” sheet music from the legendary Dan Desdunes and the “Omaha Blues” written by Effie and Charles Tyus. Before recorded music began to enter homes in the 1920s and 1930s, sheet music was the only way for individuals to enjoy popular music in their own homes. Pianos were popular entertainment sources for middle-class homes, and the American sheet music industry thrived during the latter half of the nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth. Popular jazz musicians borrowed heavily from African-American culture, and the industry often depended on stereotypical depictions of African Americans and African American culture in its music, lyrics, and artwork. Some of Mrs. Cleary’s items feature the stereotypical imagery of minstrelsy. Sources Referenced: Cook, Nicholas, and Anthony Pople, eds. The Cambridge History of Twentieth-Century Music.

Title A name given to the resource 'When He Sang that Baritone He Sang Some Bear' sheet music Description An account of the resource This pre-World War I song is about a baritone singer named William Washington Malone who, “Made them get so hot, they’d rag a new fox trot. The girls would Salome, they all would come and fetch the mo’ to hear old William Washington Malone”. The song continues with, “when he sang—the whole house rang…”. As the story unfolds the listener learns the fate of the baritone who becomes sad, loses his voice and by extension his livelihood. Why he became sad is not revealed within the lyrics. The song mentions singing was how Malone earned his “Jack” which is noted at the bottom of the page to mean money in the slang of that era. The cover of this sheet music shows three women, Bess, Alice, and Florence known collectively as the Cotterill sisters. Maceo Pinkard and Otis J. Walden wrote this song and it bears a 1915 copyright. Janice Cleary who owns this amazing collection, assures us Pinkard was a booking agent and music publisher in Omaha before he moved on to New York. From there he wrote the legendary tune “Sweet Georgia Brown”. This song was dedicated to Mr. Maceo “Tony” Henike. The sheet music was published by the Dick B. Bruun Company of Omaha Nebraska and printed by Rayner Dalheim and Company Music Printers of Chicago Illinois. An image of Bruun appears on the bottom of the cover along with the logo of his company, which includes a cartoon drawing of a mouse that predates the famous Mickey. He is wearing a suit and looking at some sheet music, which proclaims, “Croon a Bruun Time”. On the first page inside the sheet music is an advertisement for other Bruun titles that sold for 15 cents each post paid. The Ad includes another Pinkard tune, “I’m Going Back Home” and Brunn’s songs, “I’ll Be Back”, “When the Milkman Comes in the Morning”, “Howdy Henriella”, “In the Smoke of My Calabash”, “Thelma”, and “Street of Dreams” For interviews and oral histories of this and other items please visit the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/HistoryHarvest"> History Harvest YouTube Channel.</a> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Maceo Pinkard Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Janice Cleary, North Omaha History Harvest, 2011 Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available The Dick B.
