"Ruff Johnson's Harmony Band" Will Halley Victor 17728 (1914) Shelton Brooks & Maurice Abrahams song

"Ruff Johnson's Harmony Band" Will Halley Victor 17728 1914 Is if Ruff? Or Rufe? Or Mose? All three names can be found on different pieces of sheet music and in different recordings. Song by Shelton Brooks and Maurice Abrahams Rufe Johnson leads the band. He is some leader man down in Savannah--I said Savannah. He really can't be beat, plays ragtime music sweet down in Savannah G. A. One day parading holiday, you'll hear them people say: Here they come. Just listen to that drum. Boy, ain't he beating some? He's going rump, rump, rump, rump. Listen to that doggone flute. Root-te-toot, toot-te-toot. Say, hon, ain't that trombone moaning? Hear it groaning. Listen to that old cornet played by the leader man! He's got a world wide reputation for playing syncopation. Old Rufus Johnson's Harmony Band! When he comes down the street, the people shake their feet. They all keep swaying while Rufe is playing. Old Rufe can't read a note. But he will get your goat when he plays Emancipation Day. The horses and mules, they act like fools. You almost hear them say: Here they come. Just listen to that drum. Boy, ain't he beating some? He's going rump, rump, rump, rump. Listen to that doggone flute. Say, hon, ain't that trombone moaning? Hear it groaning. Listen to that old cornet played by the leader man. He's got a world wide reputation for playing syncopation. Old Rufus Johnson's Harmony Band! William Halley "I'm Afraid I'm Beginning To Love You" Oxford 39040 (this is a Columbia recording) Song by Lew Brown & Joe Goodwin The singer was born William Joseph Hanley in Hoboken, New Jersey, on January 17, 1893. He recorded only for Victor and Columbia, his recording career lasting from 1913 to 1915. He was a young man, and he soon gave up recording for legal work and the U.S. Marine Corps He made his debut with "At Uncle Tom's Cabin Door," issued on Victor 17316 in May 1913. It was recorded on March 3, 1913. Also on that day he recorded "In The Golden West," issued on a disc with a slightly higher number (Victor 17323). The tenor's heyday as a recording artist was 1913 and 1914, with two final titles recorded in 1915. He covered upbeat material, usually comic. He first worked for Victor, but by the end of 1913 he switched to Columbia. Victor labels identify him as a tenor, but Columbia calls him a baritone. The Victor supplement for that month states that Halley "is making a success in vaudeville" but he was not famous in vaudeville. He was evidently attending Holy Cross College in Worcester, Massachusetts, when his first discs were issued in mid-1913. He soon afterwards attended New York Law School. Victor labels at first identified him as William J. Halley, later as Will Halley. The young singer enjoyed no big hits. Moderately successful numbers include "You Made Me Love You" (Victor 17381, 1913), "Do You Take This Woman For Your Lawful Wife?" (Columbia A1497, 1914), and "All He Does Is Follow Them Around" (Columbia A1563; 1914). He entered politics and by 1918 won a seat in New Jersey's state assembly though he resigned this post to serve in the U.S. Marine Corps. He later became a judge (Hoboken District Court Judge, 1923-1933), then worked as a defense attorney. Late in life he resided at 1000 Hudson Street in Hoboken and is buried in Holy Cross Cemetery, North Arlington, New Jersey. His wife was Anna Helen McGahy Hanley, who was raised in Rye, New York (she died in 1953). The married couple had two sons: William J., Jr., and Patrick Robert Hanley. He died on November 14, 1961.
