Hughie Cannon was an American songwriter and pianist. He was born in Detroit on 9 April 1877 and became famous for his ragtime music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On music-scores.com we have the original arrangement of Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home?<\/a> for download.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Career and Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the 1890’s Cannon performed with the Barlow’s Minstrels singing, dancing, and playing the piano. In 1902 he wrote his most famous piece Bill Bailey, Won’t you Please Come Home?<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This song originated from a meeting with a man called Bill Bailey in a bar in Michigan where Cannon worked as a pianist. Here Cannon got talking to the performer and Bill talked freely to him about his marriage and life and this inspired Cannon to write the song. Bailey showed his wife who was apparently not amused! If you listen to the words and you might see why…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
