UFF-STUFF SONCS HUMOROUS SONGS FOR MALE VOICES Compiled and Edited by the Publishers Cc. C. BIRCHARD @ CO. Boston7 NOTE IRANKLY, this is a book of frivolous songs, in pite of the leaven afforded by a few*in serious vein; but we are convinced that there are innumerable occa- sions where these songs will serve a really useful purpose... No social event, luncheon, dinner or banquet is complete without singing, and in these days of Rotarian gatherings, Kiwanis Clubs, college reunions, Old Home Societies andesimilar meetings for the promotion of good fellowship and mutual understanding, a frivolous song-book seems to us to be indicated, as’the doctors ence this collection. ‘The arrangements have been made in conformity with certain time-honored conventions: “barber-shops” and all the other fainiliar expedients inevitable in “scrub” quartet singing. Piano accompaniments are provided fér some of the songs {in case it should be desirable to sing them in unison or as solos; but the book is intended primarily for four-part singing by male voices with or without the piano- ‘There are few social gatherings that cannot muster at least a quartet of singers, and ladies’ voices are often available for the first tenor parts, sung an octave lower than they appear on the staff, With good effect. No simMar cdllection of candid nonsense has eyer before been made available so far as we know, and we hope thik pole ‘will prove to be acceptable as a contribution to “the gaiety of nations.” « _ Eprrons aND PUBLISHERS. ——— ALPHABETICAL INDEX Tit =” Pigs Title A Little Wish 3.
