Hi!

I'm looking for sheet music for certain popular songs of the 1890-1920 era-- specifically "I Guess I'll Have to Telegraph my Baby, by the legendary (and at that time, quite young) George M. Cohan, 1898; and "I'd Leave my Happy Home for You", by Will A. Heelan and Harry Van Tilzer, 1899. Anybody out there have these? I looked in a printed anthology of Cohan's work, but no joy...

Both these songs deal with the world of show business at the time-- I'd be very interested in other songs of this genre and period....

I'm also interested in finding the tune to a song called "Umbrella Courtship"-- it's listed as the "air" to a couple different 19th-c. parody songs. Interestingly enough, two of these are British music hall songs of the early 19th century, while one is from California in about the 1870's-- they may even be two different songs, but I'm inclined to believe they're the same song/tune. Anybody have any leads?

Thanks in advance for any help or ideas...

All my Best, Simon Spalding
