Scarce sheet music for a song by James Reese Europe Noble Sissle and Eubie Blake issued as Europe's 369th Infantry "Hell Fighters" band was returning from the First World War and its success was being carried into American popular music. The cover gives a large photographic portrait of Europe in uniform identifies him as director of "The Hell Fighters Band" and advertises the song as sung by Noble Sissle with "Jim Europe's Famous Military Band" with a smaller uniformed portrait of Sissle at lower right. Europe and Sissle had served together with the celebrated 369th Infantry Regiment whose band became one of the most visible Black American musical organizations of the war. After returning to New York Europe's band recorded "Mirandy" for Pathé in March 1919 with Sissle singing.Europe was killed only two months later in May 1919. The sheet comes from the very brief postwar period in which Europe and Sissle were still being marketed publicly through their military identities. The song itself is a comic love number set in Jacksonville beginning with its description of Sandy and his sweetheart Mirandy and moving into the refrain "There ain't no gal as sweet as my Mirandy." Sissle and Blake continued to perform "Mirandy" after Europe's death including during their appearances in Shuffle Along the enormously successful 1921 production that established their partnership on Broadway. .

1904réf. BK0150Los Angeles: Robert E. Larkins 1904. 10 ½ x 14 inches. 6 pp. including covers. Sheet music for voice and piano with photographic illustrations and ornamental borders printed in blue and gray on the front cover. A few short marginal tears and minor edge wear; near fine overall. A Los Angeles publication in the racist "coon song" genre with a story of money romantic rivalry and the social appeal of the automobile. A rejected Black suitor learns that an uncle in the South has died and made him a millionaire. He buys an automobile and a diamond ring visits a "swell café" and settles his bill with a hundred-dollar note. Encountering his former girlfriend while driving down Broadway he refuses her request for a ride: "Now my little baby let me tell you true I never did think dat of you Coming to me wid dat smiling spiel Dat you wants to ride in my automobile." The automobile supplies the occasion for the song's final reversal as the formerly unsuccessful suitor can now turn away the woman who rejected him. The lyrics also distinguish the characters by complexion contrasting the dark-skinned protagonist with a lighter-skinned rival though the resolution rests principally on the protagonist's newfound wealth. The photographic cover depicts a woman dismissing a suitor against a painted theatrical backdrop with a separate oval portrait below; neither photograph is captioned. Larkins advertises his Los Angeles publishing business as "The House Out West." The inside front and rear covers reproduce musical excerpts advertising Oneonta by Charles E. Bray and Papa's Baby.
