^Lot 760 Jack Norworth

American performer and songwriter (1879–1959) best known for co-writing such standards as the baseball anthem, ‘Take Me Out to the Ball Game,’ and ‘Shine On, Harvest Moon.’ TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, April 2, 1959. In part: “In the first place I have never met Ada Jones. Then I do not remember Nora Bayes and myself ever making a record of ‘Shine On, Harvest Moon.’ If you can verify this I would be glad to know about it and try to get one of the records. Many people down through the years have said they had one and when I offered them money for it, nothing happened.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, and a bit of light toning.
