Item description from seller

First edition. Quarto. 5pp. Wrappers. Possibly lacking the rear wrapper, front wrapper detached but present, owner name at the top of page three, significant edgewear including chips and tears, and soiling to the exterior, a good only copy. An instrumental piece for piano. A note above the music reads, "No cake walk given in the Black Belt District in Alabama was considered worth while attending unless 'WHISTLING RUFUS' was engaged to furnish the music. Unlike other musicians RUFUS always performed alone, playing as accompaniment to his whistling on an old guitar, and it was with great pride that he called himself the 'ONE-MAN BAND.".
