Description
I remember certain partys during my teens when we were dancing interchangably to The Beatles' new white album, and to old Glenn Miller tunes. By that time I digged Beatles, Flat & Scruggs, The Animals, JS Bach, Kinks, Beethoven, Simon & Garfunkel, Andres Segovia, Glenn Miller and others.
For a couple of years I've been playfully playing around with the theme, but not until recently made a more serious functional guitar arrangement. All the time I've thought that it was composed by Glenn Miller. But a quick check showed that:
The tune is far older that Miller. It was copyrighted 1885 by the composer F. W. Meacham (1850-1895). The tune has a long history of recording and has been popular for well over 100 years. It was very popular before World War I and retained popularity during both World Wars. The first recording was a 2-minute Edison cylinder in 1903.
