1880-1890

Now, here's one for you. You're A Grand Old Flag is not just a tune you learn in music class. Oh, no! It is from the musical George Washington, Jr. written by George M. Cohan, written in 1896 but premiered in 1906. While I don't suggest it for an audition song beyond patriotic auditions and/or middle school auditions, check out all the words you didn't know existed!

What an interesting decade to read through. Very much vaudevillian in flavor. I guess that would be an obvious statement.
