This is my Great GrandDad. His son Hal is my Grandfather. He was one of the first to record on record for Columbia back in the day. A lot of his talent rubbed off into my Pops and even my brother. Me not so much... except for my love of music. I can play.. a little on strings, but never had the ear to be able to play like some of the rest of my family. I did play the skins for a local party/biker bar/ classic rock/blues band in my younger days. Then I got married... the drums got sold... and I got old.. er. So yeah, I really do got the music in me. Hope ya'll can enjoy this moldy oldie..

Here's a snip-it from his wiki profile...

Art Gillham, (January 1, 1895, St. Louis, Missouri – June 6, 1961, Atlanta, Georgia), was an American songwriter, who was among the first crooners as a pioneer radio artist and a recording artist for Columbia Records.

With Billy Smythe and Scott Middleton he wrote "Hesitation Blues", which he also recorded as one of the first electrical recordings for Columbia Records(Rust). The song is heard in the following movies The Public Enemy, Of Human Bondage and Fireman Save My Child (IMDB). Gillham and Smythe wrote approximately 100 songs together, including "Mean Blues," "Just Forget," "The Deacon Told Me I Was Good," "Just Waiting for You," "Crying Again," "Things That Remind Me of You" (sheet music) and the first successful electrical recording, "You May Be Lonesome" (Rust). With J. Russell Robinson he wrote "In My Sweetheart's Arms".[1]
