any
things
are
music to my ears
and I’ve thought
of a few that pop
up in the realm
of philatelic
elements. Take,
for instance, this Peanuts first-day
cover with a cachet featuring
Snoopy dancing (Figure 1, top
right). It brings to mind the Charlie
Brown theme song titled “Linus
and Lucy” written by Vince Guaraldi and released in 1964. Can you
hear it now? It’s jazz.
What better music than the
sound of the car engine turning
over (Figure 2) on a subzero winter
morning, or the power coming back
on after a four-hour outage (Figure
3, below). That’s soul music, folks.

It’s 6 p.m., time for dinner

the Happy Birthday jingle meaning
I won’t have to cook that dinner;
we’ll go out to eat (Figure 5).

For the cat (Figure 7), it’s a

bill is under $200.

Keyboards on Stamps
By MaryAnn Bowman
M
arch is “Music in our Schools”
month and I was reminded of a
young stamp collector who so
enjoyed music and playing the piano, that
she developed an entire philatelic collection
which she exhibited.
In fact, I would imagine that many of
the readers of this article had a piano in their
home. Possibly, they learned to play the
piano or another family member was
engaged in learning
the art. Even in today’s schools, there
are keyboard instruments that are used
to teach basic musical concepts and

(Figure 1).
Music has always fascinated man. And
with a keyboard, it puts music at the fingertips
of individuals. Even in early time, primitive
keyboards existed. Although time and technology have changed the instrument, the actual
keyboard remains essentially the same.
The piano was thousands of years in the
making. You might have heard of its ancestors,
the clavichord and harpsichord, which both use
strings attached to a key. The piano was invented around 1709 by Christofori. At first,
it was called “pianoforte,” because it could
be played soft (piano) or loud (forte).
Early pianos had some
strange shapes. The square
or box piano was once popular. Another pyramidal piano
had its strings stretched
vertically. These early pianos
did not have as many keys
as modern pianos. Standard
pianos today have 88 keys
in repeating patterns of two
black keys and three black
keys with white keys in between. When the player
presses the keys, the strings
are hit by hammers.
Grand pianos are the
most recognizable (Figure 3).
Large concert grand pianos
are about nine feet long,
while the smaller, home-style
grand piano is about five feet
in length. The lid of the grand
piano is often opened

of early pianos.

Grand pianos have
three pedals that are
played with the foot.
Grand pianos are used
as an accompanying
instrument or can be
played solo.

Figure 4. This block of four Christmas
seals shows a family enjoying the piano.
Figure 6. A set of four stamps from Luxembourg
showing pipe organs.
A recent invention is the
electric piano. The keyboard
has no strings, but uses electricity to amplify sounds. The electronic keyboard can make the
sounds of many musical instruments with the help of a synthesizer (Figure 5, at right).
The organ is another keyboard instrument, with the pipe
organ dating back to 250 B.C.
Early pipe organs had few
pipes. Bellows pushed air
through the pipes to produce
music. The pipes were usually
housed in ornate cabinets.
Large pipe organs can have

(Continued from page 4)
The accordion is a portable keyboard
(Figure 7, below). It is held in front of the
player by straps around the shoulders. The
right hand plays the keyboard, while the left
hand presses the buttons for the chords. The
bellows in the middle are pushed in and out
to force air through the reeds. Accordions
are especially popular for folk music.
Marimbas, xylophones, and vibraphones
are similar to other keyboard instruments,

Mini-study: 8.4¢ Steinway Grand Piano Stamp
By MaryAnn Bowman

ithin a larger topic or exhibit, it is
often possible to form small specialized collections. Sometimes it
might be a single stamp from a longer series.
Such was the case of a mini-study made within
the keyboards exhibit.
In 1978, the United States issued the 8.4¢
Steinway Piano stamp as part of the Americana
issue. Five of the stamps were part of a subset
titled “Music in America.” The stamp has a
blue piano design on a yellow background.
Wording around the edge of the stamp reads
“Peace Unites a Nation Like Harmony in
Music.” The stamp was issued only in coil
format and is service-inscribed for the thirdclass bulk mail increased rate that went into
effect on May 29, 1978. The stamp had its first
day on July 13, 1978, at Interlochen, Mich.
So what constitutes a mini-exhibit? According to the Scott catalog, there are four
identifiable varieties. Scott 1615C is an overall
tagged sidewise coil with shiny gum (Figure 1).
Scott 1615Cd is an untagged Bureau precancel
coil (Figure 2). It has either dull or shiny gum.
There are no plate numbers on the coil stamps
but joint line pairs are a collectible variety.
Scott 1615Ce, imperf between Bureau precancel coil pair and 1615Cf, imperf Bureau precancel coil pair, complete the catalog listings.
No. 1615Ce is precanceled with lines only.
No. 1615Cf is precanceled with lines only,
Page 5
but also exists in pairs precanceled from Newark, N.J., Brownstone, Ind. (Figure 3), Oklahoma City, Okla., and Washington, D.C. These
last mentioned items are difficult to acquire
and carry a high catalog value.
Approximately 150 different city precancels were produced. One can enjoy the challenge of trying to find one from each of the
known cities.
For additional information regarding this
issue, one resource would be The Americana
Series Reference Manual, by Art Maniker
(1998).
So what could you include in your ministudy? Examples of each of the Scott listed
numbers, as many examples of precancel cities

“Good-By, Old Stamp, Good-By”
I
n 1883, the rate for sending a letter by first-class mail was changed from 3 cents
to 2 cents. Someone thought it would be clever to write a song about this event,
thus, “Good-By, Old Stamp, Good-By” came into being. The lyrics on the sheet
music are credited to “Uncle Sam, Author of All the Stamps.” However, some of the
words are very similar to the Eugene Field poem, “The Three-Cent Stamp,” below.
THE THREE-CENT STAMP
Good-by, old stamp; it’s nasty luck
That ends our friendship so.
When others failed, you gamely stuck,
But now you’ve got to go.
So here’s a flood of honest tears,
And here’s an honest sigh.
Good-by, old friend of many years —
Good-by, old stamp, good-by!
Your life has been a varied one,
With curious phases fraught —
Sometimes a check, sometimes a dun,
Your daily coming brought;
Smiles to a waiting lover’s face,
Tears to a mother’s eye,
Or joy or pain to every place —
Good-by, old stamp, good-by!
The sheet music can be viewed and printed from the Johns Hopkins University,
Levy Sheet Music Collection. Their site is:
https://jscholarship.library.jhu.edu/handle/1774.2/4707.
Do you have any philatelic-related sheet music in your collection? If so, send
in a photo or scan to the editor for possible use in a future issue of ATFP. 
The sheet music reads: “Inscribed to those who buy, by
those who bought. Epitaph: By an act of Congress into
being I came, with a smiling face and a noble name. I met
my death by an act of the same in March, ‘Eighty-Three,
I say to my shame.”
Philatelic Music Videos
T
here are several philatelic-related music
videos available on YouTube. These
could be used for a club program or
simply enjoyed at home. The first video is The
Civil War on Stamps (Figure 1). The music,
“Ashokan Farewell,” by Jay Unger, was written
in 1982 and used in Ken Burns’ PBS miniseries, The Civil War. The video uses stamps,
photographs, and other images to highlight
people and events from the war. This video
won the Grand Prize in the APS’s 2011
YouTube Stamp-Related Video Contest.
In 2012, the Grand Prize went to Thomas
Broadhead for his Stamp Rap video (Figure 2).
Philatelists will find the lyrics of this 4½minute video especially humorous. The 2012
Reserve Grand was for Stamp Riddles
(Figure 3). This video asks a riddle and then
the answer, illustrated by a stamp, appears
on the next screen.
Two ABC videos would be good to use
with children. The first, A Philatelic Alphabet
Zoo (Figure 4), is accompianed by Mozart’s “12
Variations on Ah Vous Dirai-je, Maman.”
Listeners will recognize the tune as the “ABC
Song,” “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” or
“Baa, Baa Black Sheep.” The second video
Page 6
is called, Insect Alphabet on Stamps (Figure 5),
and features the song, “Glow Worm.” The tune
is from an album of songs played on the Titanic
and has a definite turn-of-the-century feel to it.

Resources tab. Then click on the

E
arl G. Buehler, aged 74, died on February
11, 2014, in Madison, Wis., after a two year
struggle with an MRSA infection and
other medical problems. Earl was born in Milwaukee, Wis., on March 28, 1939, and grew up in Port
Washington. In1961, he graduated from University
of Wisconsin — Madison with a major in political
science. Earl enrolled in the University of Wisconsin Law School and obtained his J.D. in 1964.
Most of Earl's career was spent as an attorney
for the State of Wisconsin, in Madison. He was
very active in many groups, including the Masons,
the Shriners, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, and the
Boy Scouts.
One of Earl's greatest pleasures was traveling
Across the Fence Post
with his wife. He liked to collect special sheets of
stamps from each country they visited. His other
collecting interests included first-day covers and
U.S. stamps. He was a member of Badger Stamp
Club and helped at DANEPEX shows.
Earl is survived by his wife of 50 years, Sue;
four sons, and two grandchildren. 
