Sheet Music. Condition: Good. This sheet music has been neatly stapled together. It has some general aging along with wear on the edges and corners including some short closed tear. It is of some interest because of the photograph of Carson J. Robison and Vernon Dalhart. Neither of these two men, one a songwriter/singer and the other primarily a singer, was, strictly speaking, from the country, they were as a team and individually two of the pioneers of country music. Dalhart was one of the most prolific country singers, remembered for "The Wreck of the Old 97" and "The Prisoner's Song." Robison is remembered for "Life Gets Tee-Jus Don't It" and for many Western songs. The picture on this sheet music shows them when they worked together. The year after this music was published the two went separate ways. Both men are in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and Dalhart is in the Country Music Hall of Fame. ; B&W Photograph of Carson Robison and Vernon Dalhar; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 5 pages.
