Subject: A fine example of a once favored genre

This is a fine recording of a typical 19th century sentimental ballad. According to _The Tin Pan Alley Song Encyclopedia_ (Thomas Hischak), the song dates from 1873 but continued to be a hit sheet music title well into the twentieth century, when it was performed in vaudeville and on recordings such as this one.
