Both lyric and music were derivative, and this title suffered in comparison with Sterling's \"America, Here's My Boy,\" which had had considerable success a year earlier."},{"label":"Historical Note","value":["At least five recordings and three piano rolls were released. A burst of advertising in July waned quickly after The Billboard printed a negative review on August 3. The handful of performances that followed were exclusively by amateurs.","This is the second of four printings, distinguished by back covers. An initial copyright for the manuscript was registered on June 24, with Alfred Doyle credited as the arranger. ","The dedicatees, James and Raymond Sterling, were Andrew B. Sterling's nephews, and they both enlisted in March 1918, serving as privates for about a year and never sent overseas. Possibly it is their photographs that appear on the cover. "]},{"label":"Musical Note","value":"This march song (marked \"Tempo di marcia\") is generously larded with syncopation,  rat-a-tat-tat fills, and walking bass, but it has some characteristics of a ballad: a slower tempo concludes the verse, the harmony approaches full chromaticism, and rubato and fermatas (with an ossia high note) end the refrain."},{"label":"Dedication","value":"p. 2, top: Dedicated to Privates James and Raymond Sterling, U.
