E.T. Paull sheet music is popular among collectors for its beautifully lithographed cover art. Here are some examples and some info on them:

I have a music writing program and can turn sheet music into midi files to listen to. I tried uploading, but none of the usual upload methods here work with midi files. Anyone have any ideas on how to post a midi file?

Here is a 62 page folio of music composed and published by DeSylva, Brown & Henderson, composers of popular songs in the 1920s and 30s. No pub date for the folio, but no song in it was published later than 1928. Note the flapper-like girl on the cover. This folio cost 50 cents back then which would be about $7 in today's money.

Continuing to list sheet music given to me by my mother, some were my grandmother's.

Sheet music is popular for so many reasons.  My Mom has framed some and used them for home decor.

I have many listed with many more to go.

WOW! I found two large boxes of old-time sheet music. It will take me a while to go through them, but will post here if I find anything interesting. I already found two that I posted in the Black Americana section.
