Issue 1869: Correction to name

Object
Sterling / Hunting / Krone / von Tilzer (Person)
Submitter
Mark Dancer (Aelfric)
Assigned to
Viktor Lehmann
Priority
Normal
Disposition
Fixed
Description

Correct names for the composers of both tunes is Harry von Tilzer and Andrew B. Sterling.

Unsure where Hunting and Krone come into the picture, unless they rewrote the lyrics to “Under the Anheuser Bush” to suit the U.K. market (the title “Down at the Old Bull & Bush” is the U.K. rewrite, not the American original). “Wait 'Till the Sun Shines, Nellie” is by von Tilzer and Sterling only.

Hi Mark, this seems to be one of the issues where wikipedia might not be THE correct source. There are various sources that indicate that the UK version indeed has 3 lyricists plus the composer: Harry Von Tilzer, Andrew B. Sterling, Russell Hunting, Percy Krone.

I will not change this entry.

As for “Wait till…” you seem to be right, this is a two person thing only. I created a separate person entry for this writing tandem and associated it with this recording.
