("Cub") Berdan, a publisher of dance music in Detroit who was active in the 1880s, and named for his daughter. Paul goes on to add: "Berdan's widow married "Col." John A.

Incidentally, Berdan supposedly played cornet in Ford's Theatre the night Lincoln was shot."  Source for notated version:  Printed sources:  Recorded sources:
