The Bullfrog by Glenn R. Hampton (1910)

Original listing and sheet music here: https://musescore.com/user/36482158/s... From western New York state comes this catchy rag/march/two-step, the only known ragtime piece by Glenn Raymond Hampton (1892-1976) who was eighteen years old at time of publication. It was published by F.B. Haviland in New York City in 1910. Musescore researcher Erlingl was able to find a few details regarding Glenn Hampton: He was born in Johnson City, Tennessee on July 25, 1892. Some records indicate 1890 (including his gravestone), but the correct year was definitely 1892 as a Tennessee newspaper made note of the birth. By October 1910 he was living in Canaseraga, New York where the local paper noted: “Glenn Hampton, one of Canaseraga’s young talented musicians, has composed a two-step which will be put on sale this week.” In 1911, Hampton relocated to Buffalo, New York, where he worked as a bookkeeper while also playing piano for silent motion‑picture exhibitions in the evenings. By 1915, Hampton was residing in DuBois, Pennsylvania. He was employed as assistant manager at the Carlton Theatre in DuBois. His father, Willis Herbert Hampton was the owner. (Fast forward to the year 1976, the year Hampton died). He was interviewed, living in Texas: “I’ve been a musician most of my life. I started in when I was just a young boy in high school. We had a band — not a high school band, they didn’t have such things in those days — with all mature musicians, you know. I was the youngest, and I was always playing for dances and things before I even got out of high school." Mr. Hampton went to high school in Canaseraga, New York. "I’m not a Yankee though, because I was born in Johnson City, Tennessee, and that makes me a southerner.’” He died in Odessa, Texas in October 1976 leaving wife, son, daughter and several grandchildren. He is then mentioned as 86 years old! Thank you to Mitchy for finding this great score, and to Ragtime Dorian Henry for making it available online.
