MAY 4 THE NEW YORK CLIPPER. 319 You all hare, at one time in your career, sung a HARRIS ballad, and never failed to make good. Now, what is the reason. It is just because you have sung a song by a composer who writes both his own words and music. His titles and stories are taken from real life, and his music is an inspiration, and not rehashed from some old time, long forgotten popular song, and foisted upon the public as original. That is one of the secrets of the HAR R IS ballads successes. Composers are born, not made. Song imitators may strike it once, perhaps twioe, but do they? or oan they strike it year in and year out for twenty years, as HARRIS has done and is doing year in and year out? His latest and most beautiful heart story love ballad, JUST BECAUSE I LOVED YOU SO. By CHAS. K. HARRIS. » • » 4 ' —p V- »& —.-fr. ■*»-« i. "Good-bye. lit-tle sweetheart, forev - er. I'm 3.
