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.
