Minnie from Minnesota: 1921

Twin Cities Music Highlights Posted on June 22, 1921 by SCookJune 22, 2019

Another Minnesota number from 1921 was “Minnie from Minnesota,” a one step, fox trot ballad. Words, music, and all arrangements by Ed Chenette.  “As Refreshing as the North Wind – As Magnetic as the North Star”

Folio M 1658.M55 C65, Minne from Minnesota, 1921, page 1

Minnesota Historical Society

 

Although Chenette was apparently from Eveleth, this sheet music is fun because it has a page that introduces a “New Novel Movement in Dancing” called SWAYING.  “Also every amusing and effective where the audience is seated, in the Parlor, Theater, etc.”  “SWAYING” is more fun than the Shimmy – Swing It – Sway It – Dance It – Play It.  When used when audience is seated, in theatre or parlor, have them take hold of hands and sway throughout entire Chorus.”
