[78-L] Christmas in Camp, link to free download

[Kristjan Saag]

The guys behind this "descriptive" Christmas record were J P (James 
Patrick) Harrington (lyrics) and Bennett Scott (music). The latter was 
also music publisher, and by 1914 not very active as composer himself. 
It may be that his name, as was the case with other publishers names at 
the time - Godfrey, Mills and Wright, for instance -  was added to the 
songwriter's name for copyright reasons. With Scott though, it seems a 
bit unlikely, as he co-founded the British Public Rights Society in1906...
Interesting article, with picture, about these two gentlemen in:
