Interesting!

Same lyricist as 1911's Winds of Dawn and same year as his lesson book.

One correction to a previous post: Charles L. Lofthouse was Sir Stafford Lofthouse Sands' uncle not his cousin. The extended family controlled a very large slice of the Bahamian (tourist) economy after the Flager System sold out. The old place on Marlborough Street in Nassau is still at it.

And, fwiw, Uncle Charley would be one quarter "Castellano" or "Peninsulari" on his mother's side which is "White" in the islands but "Hispanic" Stateside. So he's either a young person of colour or a white boy depending on the when and where of the observer.

Still looking for his mysterious connection to the American version of Peanut Vendor.
