Roller Organ Cob "Little Ah Sid"
By Todd Augsburger

Is anyone aware of an existing copy of the Roller Organ Cob #437,
"Little Ah Sid"?  I'd like to verify the tune for a musicologist
doing research, as well as satisfy my own curiosity.  Does anyone
own a copy, or can you suggest someone who does?

My mother used to recite the "politically incorrect" poem of the
same name, which she learned as a child.  But she was unaware of
any song.  There's a copy of the sheet music which I suspect is
to be found on the cob -- if you're curious about it -- at
  http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.music/sm1883.11489

Thank you,
