EDITORS COMMENTS
Hum Your Troubles Away," a lively and cheerful fox-trot composition by Cliff Friend and Harry Woods, was first published as sheet music in 1926. This cover image from the music print invites us to step back in time to the 1920s, an era of jazz, flapper fashion, and carefree spirit. The cover features a young, happy couple, a man in a dapper suit and a woman in a stylish dress, lost in the moment as they hum along to the upbeat melody. The man strums a ukulele, while the woman playfully plucks at a branch, as if it were a makeshift instrument. A bird perched on a nearby branch adds to the scene, completing the idyllic setting. The price of the sheet music is displayed prominently in the bottom left corner, reminding us of the cost of entertainment in the past. Shillings and pence were the currency of the day, and the price of 6d (six pence) was a reasonable cost for a piece of music that could provide hours of enjoyment. This image, with its charming depiction of a couple finding solace in music during a time of troubles, is a testament to the power of music to uplift and bring joy. The fox-trot rhythm, with its lively and energetic beat, was a popular dance style of the 1920s, and "Hum Your Troubles Away" was a beloved tune that was sure to get feet tapping and spirits soaring. Francis Day & Hunter, a renowned music publishing company of the time, produced this sheet music, further adding to its historical significance. This cover image is a delightful reminder of a bygone era and the simple pleasures of music and dance.
