[2] He attended grammar school at P. S. 86, located on the hill at Lexington Avenue and 96th Street in New York City, graduating in 1892.
[2] One of the pieces he contributed to this production was the music for the opening song of the work, "My Pocohontas", with lyricist Edgar Selden.
[7] Written in the musical style of dixieland and drawing inspiration from minstrelsy, its lyrics by Will D. Cobb were emblematic of the racist stereotypes prevalent in that form of entertainment.
