Make a Noise Like a Hoop (132 words)
This mischievous song, with a distinctly modern twist to the lyric, was written in 1908 by Ren Shields (who co-wrote "Waltz Me Around Again Willie") and J. Fred Helf (who co-wrote "Please Mister Conductor, Don't Put Me Off This Train" and "Afloat on a Five Dollar Note").
Fred Duprez, who's monolog "Happy Tho Married" is also posted in this archive, recorded it for Columbia in 1908 on both disc and cylinder - this is the 2-minute cylinder recording, issued on Oxford Indestructible.
The cylinder has a slightly warped surface, so some flutter is introduced, but is in very good shape other than that and didn't take much noise reduction work to make it presentable.
Patriotic Music In America, Page 2 (2322 words)
Just as music is used to stir patriotism and inspire support for war, songs were, and still are, also a way to deal with the pain of war and to heal the wounds that exist during and long after the war is over.
Fred Helf was a popular composer during the first two decades of the twentieth century who, like many other successful composers, formed his own publishing company.
Helf's firm's demise shows the fragility of many of the businesses of that period.
