Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Hat My Father Wore
Hi
I wrote a number of years back and am hoping to reach someone still? My Dad always said his grandfather, W.J. Byron, wrote the lyrics to this song, which Gene Kelly then performed in the movie "Take me out to the ball game".
I do have 2 other pieces of sheet music he wrote the lyrics for. One has a copyright of 1918 by him, w/ his name and address. Music was written by ESS Huntington to that song.
The other was published by Frank Harding's Music Publishing House of New York City, shows a copyright of 1928 by my great grandfather with the music written by Herman Dubois.
Please share any information you might have, especially from the other grand-daughter. Email me please at bbums42@msn.com.
Thank you!
Brenda
