Walter Lee Plexico papers, 189u-1899.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/55046093

Collection of Plexico's manuscript sheet music or his compositions and arrangements; includes published work by other contemporary composers. Plexico named several of his pieces after towns in York County: the "Blairsville Polka," the "McConnellsville Grand March, " the "Sharon Schottische, " the "Hoodtown March, " and the "Bullock Creek Grand March." Some have interesting political titles, such as the [Benjamin] Tillman's Pitchfork" quick-step or the [William Jennings] "Bryan's March to the White House" two-step. Others seem inspired by contemporary events and personalities: "Ocean Telegraph March, " "Downfall of Paris, " and "Oscar Wilde."
