"Chopsticks"
By Lee Munsick

I enjoyed the "February Third in musical history" notation about
"Chopsticks".  It'd be curious to know how many vaudeville shows, radio
programs, high school and perhaps even elementary school talent shows
and other venues featured this little ditty over the years, variously
abbreviated and probably usually as part of a comedy routine -- and
whether Ms. Alten ever saw any royalties!

And how many "pianists" there have been in the intervening century for
whom this comprises the entirety of their repertoire.  Like me.
