caught Alford's attention and became the first two notes of the
main motif in the Colonel Bogey March!

Quote: {1893} Good Morning To All
Song: Happy Birthday To You - Mildred J. Hill, Patty Smith Hill
Note: Mildred J. Hill was an organist and composer from Chicago.
The original lyrics of "Good Morning To All" were entirely
different from "Happy Birthday To You". Mildred's sister,
Patty Smith Hill, rewrote the song as a march and it was
copyrighted as part of "Union School Chorus Music".
The music is in the public domain but Warner-Chappell Music
must license the combined use of the music and lyrics for
any commercial enterprise such as a TV show. The singing of
"Happy Birthday To You" in a movie, without permission,
resulted in a lawsuit.

Quote: French Quadrille (from a book of Quadrilles)
Song: Tiger Rag - Thomas Carey
Note: An interesting sidelight on the Jack Carey Band concerns the
song "Tiger Rag". One day, Jack's brother, Thomas, pulled a
strain from a book of Quadrilles, altered the timing, etc.,
and called it "Tiger Rag". Jack worked up the 2nd and 3rd
strain to show off his clarinetist, George Boyd. The final
strain (Hold That Tiger, section) was worked up by Punch
Miller, the Cornetist and Jack (trombonist). Later, Jelly Roll
Morton would claim credit for transforming the French Quadrille
(that had 4 different meters), but historians have shown
otherwise.
The Jack Carey band developed many of the tunes that were later
recorded by the Original Dixieland Jazz Band. Tiger Rag was
originally called "Jack Carey" by the Black Musicians of the
period, and as "Negro #2" by the White Musicians.
