S.O.D. "When Uncle Joe Plays A Rag On His Old Banjo" by Arthur Collins

6/2/2016      We could also say the song is by Terriss & Morse, which is the name he and his wife Theodora went by as one of the first husband and wife songwriting teams for Tin Pan Alley.  Morse studied piano and violin upon his graduation from the Maryland Military and Naval Academy.  He composed in excess of 80 songs.  He was born in Washington DC and died in New York City. This tune has been added to the significant songs in the Library of Congress.  Published in 1912, one of the better versions is by vocalist Arthur Collins.
