JakeWalshMusic E. M. Bartlett, Sr., the composer of this song (w & m), was Albert Brumley's mentor and teacher. Bartlett even took the penniless Brumley (then 21) into his own home and entered him without tuition into his (Bartlett's) Hartford (MO) Musical Institute where Brumley received his musical education. In 1939, Bartlett composed his last song "Victory in Jesus" shortly after suffering a disabling stroke.

Where have I been all his life?!
Thanks for this great tune, Geoff.
Anyone know who wrote it or where it came from?
The song is credited to Eugene Monroe Bartlett (1885-1941).
Classic New Orleans brass band march.....
Awesome
I don't believe it was...it may be 'credited ' to him as the publisher but written by Albert Brumley, surely...
