Story of Mrs. Carrie Jacobs Bond.
When. Blind Tom gave one of his
remarkable concerts in GAINESVILLE,
Wis, and finished playing a compost
ton after hearing 1t but once, an old
man in the audience arose to make a
suggestion.
There's a little girl here who can
do that same. thing" he said.
Let her come here and will play
one Of my own compositions, which
has never been published, and she can
try it," was the reply.
A plain, shy little nine year-old
girl was taken to the platform, and
although her small hands could not
compass the octaves, she played the
piece almost exactly as the man had.
That was little Carrie Jacobs
AS a tiny tot of four Carrie could
pick out any melody on the piano with
one finger, but her talent for painting
was more encouraged at that period
of her youth. Even her music teacher
saw no more than average ability in
her pupil, In spite of the Blind Tom"
episode.
Probably her first insight into the
deeper meanings of life came to the
future composer when, after her mar
riage, she went with her husband, DIR.
Frank Bond, into the logging camps
of Northern Wisconsin. 1t was while
living in that forest primeval that the
happy girl-wife first made little songs
for her husband, and, later, lullabies |
for their son. DR.. Bond urged his wife |
to have these melodies published, be-
lieving they had too great merit to be
known only In their own home.
