Old Songs - "A Hundred Years From Now"
By John Farrell

Bill Mintz requested composer details of these tunes :

1. "Nobody Loves Me" (maybe known as "Nobody Loves Me Now");
2. "A Hundred Years From Today"; and
3. "Drizzle, Drizzle".

The following might be of interest :

1. The closest match to "Nobody Loves Me" given in my records is
"Nobody Loves Me But My Mother", written in 1924 by William Russell
and Edward Herbert, published by MCA Inc.

2. "A Hundred Years From Today" is probably "A Hundred Years From Now",
written in 1928 by Sid Silvers and Phil Baker, published by Shapiro,
Bernstein & Co, Inc.

3. Sorry,  I can find no reference at all to "Drizzle, Drizzle".  It
will almost certainly be included in the huge Lissauer compilation of
popular tunes, a copy of which I shall purchase when I win the lottery.
