- The person who seems to be making the claim for Milton Adolphus (on many sights all over the Web) is named David Traver Adolphus. It would appear that he is a relative, perhaps a descendant, of Milton Adolphus. (See [1] for one of his posts.) Obviously he would have his biases, but one perhaps ought to contact him for his justification for his claim. -- BRG 19:10, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
I have seen the sheet music for Dream a little dream of me. Wilbur Schwandt listed on the sheet music for Dream a little dream of me. I am a relitive of Wilbur Schwandt and also have a photo copy of the origonal hand written sheet music for dream a Little Dream of me. One of the neet things I have is a copy of a Photo of Wilbur schwadnt and Lucile Ball from 1957. I can't post it becuase I am not the right's holder to the Picture.

We, the descendants of Milton Adolphus, feel our claim is quite reliable. An original score is among his voluminous archives, and we're going through them now to find it; it may also be in the possession of the West Harwich Public Library, to which he left some of his papers. This signed and dated score was seen by many people during his lifetime, dating back to the time of its authorship c. 1930, and when recovered we'll scan it and include it on the Milton Adolphus page. I am, indeed, a descendant, namely, his grandson.

[edit] Genre
I would like to know under which genre of music, the Mama Cass Elliot rendition of this song would come under, I may guess Blues. Rgp2130 (talk) 12:51, 28 November 2007 (UTC) ~~
Many pop groups of the 50's/60's covered "standards" of the 20's,30's and 40's. (ie "Who's Sorry Now", "Summertime"). The Mama Cass version is done in a 20's style (with a tinkling piano) so it could be regarded as a "retro" song. Many orignal songs were written and recorded at that time in a deliberate "old fashion" style ie "Winchester Cathedral" and "When I'm Sixty-Four".

[edit] Copyright?
I see this article quotes the song's full lyrics. Is it public domain? If not, that section is a copyvio and must be deleted. The song was first published in 1932, but I don't have sufficient knowledge of US copyright law to know whether that's good or bad for us. Loganberry (Talk) 00:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
