EDITORS COMMENTS
is a charming and whimsical music cover from the 1930s, featuring a scene of three soldiers, fast asleep on the job. The cover, designed for the sheet music of the same name, was created by Jimmy Kennedy and Michael Carr in 1935. The image showcases three soldiers in military uniforms, each holding a toy soldier in their hands, as if dreaming about the battles they might have once fought. Their hats are placed on the floor next to them, and their swords lie beside them, adding to the military theme. The soldiers are depicted with their eyes closed, their faces relaxed in peaceful slumber. The red, white, and black color palette adds a sense of nostalgia and timelessness to the image. The background of the cover is a simple, red curtain, creating a subtle contrast against the soldiers and their toys. The shadowy effect on the soldiers' faces and their toys adds depth and texture to the image, making it all the more intriguing. The title of the song, "The Generals Fast Asleep," is written in elegant script at the top of the cover, with the authors' names, "Words by Jimmy Kennedy" and "Music by Michael Carr," appearing below. The price of the sheet music is indicated in the lower left corner, with the price tag reading "6d," which was the sixpence currency used in the UK during the 1930s. This music cover is a delightful snapshot of a bygone era, capturing the innocence and imagination of childhood, as well as the playful and lighthearted nature of the 1930s. This image is a wonderful addition to any collection of vintage music covers, and is a testament to the enduring appeal of music and the creativity of its creators. Jimmy Kennedy and Michael Carr's "The Generals Fast Asleep" is a timeless classic that continues to captivate and delight audiences, more than eighty years after its creation.
