[78-L] The Dream of the Rarebit Fiend

[aaronlebedeff at free.fr]

   It is a well-known song of the 1910's. You can find many versions  
under the title "Brooklyn Cake-Walk". It has been composed by Thurban.

   I have several versions of it :

   -a London G&T from 1902 single-sided by the H. M. Grenadier Guards

   -an Edison cylinder by the Edison Military Band

   -a French Pathé cylinder of the same song, there sung in French by  
the well-known comic Charlus under the title "Le Cakè-Valke"

   It is known in Germany under the title "Schorschl, ach kauf mir  
doch ein Automobil"

   That's all I know about it.

   Musically,

   Peter Nahon
