Oh. I see. He seems to be currently revamping his website and the huge collection of photos of coke bottles is not there at the moment, but will return. Meanwhile, he has Coke links and a link to his license plate collection website.

Very, very, very old sheet music

This is just an experiment to see if the embed code works. I have quite a collection of antique sheet music from my grandmother and mother and so the subject interests me. I found a collection online and they offer embed links:
A bunch of wild roses / words ... Digital ID: 1152936. New York Public Library
Oh, wow. It really works! Yippeeeee!!!! This piece of music (shown above) was first published in 1890, words and music by Adam Geibel. The face in the photo is Contra-tenor John S. Terry.

You can find more images and more music and more EVERYTHING at the New York Public Library's Digital Image Collections. The sheet music collection the above image is from is titled, "American Popular Song Sheet Covers, 1890-1922."

So... okay. Let's have a few more interesting sheet music covers, shall we?
