Comments:
For the person who absolutely, positively, has to have everything that Will Shuster ever did in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Here it is. The sheet music for the Santa Fe Fiesta, with a cover design by the creator of Zozobra, Will Shuster. The distribution of this item was probably very small with very few surviving. In excellent condition and appears to have been in flat storage since printing. Illustrated on page 111 of Dispenza and Turner's book, Will Shuster: A Santa Fe Legend.
The words begin:
In Santa Fe we have La Fies-ta
'tis the time for sing-ing dance and play
On this day we do not take la sies-ta
while Zo-zo-bra burns gloom a-way
Steel guitars are soft-ly strum-ming mu-sic
se-no-ri-ta come a-long with me
lu-mi-na-rias all are shinning bright-ly
at the bai-le fan-cy cos-tumes you will see ....
From there the lyrics continue....
In the 1930's and 1940's, Billy Palou and his orchestra were a commonly heard and seen band in and around Santa Fe. They appear to have been something of a house band for La Fonda.
That Old Man Gloom - Zozobra - he's just gotta go!
