Music 1903: "( You’re the Flower of My Heart ) Sweet Adeline" by U.S. composer Henry W. Armstrong, 24, lyrics by Richard H. Gerard (R. G. Husch), 27, whose words, inspired by the farewell tour of Italian diva Adelina Patti, will be sung by generations of barbershop quartets (the song will be used as a campaign theme for Boston mayoral candidate John W. "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald)
