1911-1920

Irving Berlin, Irving Berlin, and wait! Irving Berlin. "I Love a Piano" from Stop! Look! Listen! (later added to White Christmas) was penned in 1915. I am not a fan of singing or performing this song, but I am a fan of listening to the song. It is full of chromatic lines not all to common to songs around which makes it slightly different, but check it out for yourself.

"Till The Clouds Roll By" from Oh Boy! written by Kern & Wodehouse is a surprisingly well known melody. Perhaps you can recall it by a few of the lyrics:
"Oh the rain comes a pitter, patter,
and I'd like to be safe in bed.
Skies are weeping,
while the world is sleeping,
Trouble heaping
on our head."

The musical ran for 463 performances, not bad!
