SHEPHERD ADALINE.: Live Wires Rag.
Sydney, Alberts .1910. With a full colour cover of two men receiving considerable electric shocks from the end of 'Live' wires. The composer Adaline Shepherd (1883-1950) was born in Algona, Iowa. Her first rag was "Pickles and Peppers", written in 1906. It was followed by "Wireless Rag" (1909) and "Live Wires" (1910). Her last known composition, "Victory March", dates from 1917. Despite her family's poor opinion of her later years piano playing, "Pickles and Peppers" became very popular. William Jennings Bryan used it in his unsuccessful presidential campaign of 1908, and "Pickles and Peppers" sold over 200 000 sheet music copies in 1908 alone. It continued to sell well for a number of years thereafter.Folio size with music . Condition VG .
