N:Mr. Bowles consistently used half notes at the cadences and at the end of phrases, dropping
N:a beat or two, but he would often add the pick-up beat to the next phrase, making some of his
N:cadences in 2/4 and some in 3/4 time.
N:The last 2 and 1/2 measures of lines 1, 3 and 5 in the transcription are a melodic phrase from Felix
N:McGlennon's British music hall song "Her golden hair was hanging down her back."
