This march from WWI honors General John J.(Black Jack) Pershing who was in overall command of the American Expeditionary forces in Europe. It is recorded here on a "Perfection" Roll #8784 played by Frank C.Weston published in 1918 .The music was written by Carl D. Vandersloot with words by J.R. Shannon. It is played here on my 1923 Harrington player.
My aunt who was at her prime during the ragtime days gave me the sheet music to this march. She was quite a piano player. It is great to hear this played as it was intended. Thanks!!
