Thread Name: Origins: Wabash Cannonball
Subject: RE: Wabash Cannonball
NOW I remember-- in the late 1800's there was an incredibly popular song "On the Banks of the Wabash" written by Paul Dresser, brother to novelist Theodore Dreiser. As sheet music sales went, it was probably top twenty quality--not that any of that is relevant to the discussion. It's on the Levy site.
