Notes: "Waltzing for a Prize" (p. 27) was written by Jack Edwin especially for Frank Bush. The humorous song relates the story of Rachel Bloomenstein’s "Sheeny" wedding on Hester Street and the men eagerly await their turn to dance with the bride. The Wesley brothers are James and John Wesley. Some of the songs have an 1880 copyright date.
