Parks apparently updated printing and publishing arrangements for the music over time. Seemingly anomalous dates such as the 1931 copyright on octavo no. 61 reflect a re-setting that condensed the song from three pages to two. Musically the 1931 arrangement is identical to the 1896 original. Similarly, Octavo No. 79 was reset from 6 pages to four and re-copyrighted in 1914.
Oct. 2010: Kilgore Memorial Library has begun loading J.A. Parks Music Company songs on to FLICKR. Page number links appearing with a title connect to images in FLICKR. A “clickable Link” in the 8vo. # column leads to a digitized example we’ve located in another digitized source; a multi-colored “swirl” links to a catalog entry in WorldCat.
Kilgore Memorial Library owns an original or photocopy of the octavos marked with “ ♦ .” A “ ♥ ” indicates the same piece’s availability in a book in the library’s collection. A separate table provides a checklist of octavos at the York County Historical Association as of October 2010.
