This vintage sheet music from 1921 features the song "Pullman Porter:  A Light Brown Blues" which tells the story of a train porter and his experiences on the railway. The publisher, Leo. Feist Inc, produced many popular songs of the time, and this piece is a great example of their work. The genre of the music is blues, which was a popular style of music in the early 20th century.

A rare find for collectors of vintage sheet music and would make a great addition to any collection.  Don't miss out on the opportunity to own a piece of musical history with this scarce 1921 sheet music.
