This rare sheet music 'Land of Enchantment New Mexico' was written by Gerald Griffin (words) with music by Bernard Maltin.
The cover is a bright turquoise blue and shows the landmark known as Shiprock in northern NM. It has a War Bond advrtisement on it as well.
The front is inscribed 'To the Lions Club of Carlsbad-Sincerely Gerald Griffin'.
From my grandparents estate in NM, my grandfather was a member of the Lions Club and may have known Mr. Griffin.
Another note of interest is that my grandfather had two sons in WWII, one who was killed on a ship that was accidently sunk by our own planes as it was not marked as a POW or medical ship. He had been captured at Bataan and the Japanese were taking them to a POW camp elsewhere.
Piece is in excellent condition and on the back page it shows several Mills Music Folios for every occasion.
In my research I have not been able to find another item like this. |
