As I relaunch Silver Showcase I hope to eventually also return to doing programs of vintage songs from the turn of the twentieth century.

There are so many wonderful and clever songs from that era, pieces of our musical heritage that deserve to be heard again!

I’ll be adding more songs to this page down the road.  Until then here are a couple that proved popular with my audiences in the past.

 

A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW (1914) by James a. Brennan, Jack Caddigan and O.E. Story.

“Every day they change the style of dancing.  Every day they change the style of dress.  Oh boys!  What is it coming to?  That’s a problem we will have to guess.

 

SINCE KATY THE WAITRESS (BECAME AN AVIATRESS) (1919) Lyrics by Will Curtis, music by Irving Bibo.

“Since Katy the Waitress became an aviatress the boys are all up in the air.  She used to give the fellows a smile now and then, but since she took to flying she looks down on the men.”
