Are there any folk musicians on this discussion board? There's a reel named after the Mayor of Chicago in the 1890s who wear an fedora. It was included in the O'neil collection published in the 1890s.
Carter Henry Harrison, Sr. (February 15, 1825 – October 28, 1893) was an American politician who served as mayor of Chicago, Illinois from 1879 until 1887; he was subsequently elected to a fifth term in 1893 but was assassinated before completing his term. He previously served two terms in the United States House of Representatives. Harrison was the first cousin twice removed of President William Henry Harrison.
MAYOR HARRISON'S FEDORA (Feadoir an Meara Harrison). Irish, Reel. E Dorian. Standard. ABC (O'Neill): AA'BB' (Breathnach). Carter Harrison Jr.was the mayor of Chicago in the early years of the 20th century, and first appointed Francis O'Neill Captain of the police force. His trademark was a brown fedora hat, and this reel was named in his honor, despite Harrison's opinion of O'Neill as a "conscientious, industrious, if not brilliant chief" Supposedly, O'Neill's daughter has said that Harrison was a "frequent guest at the O'Neill's for Sunday dinner."
