-'''MY DOG DIES.''' AKA and see "[[James Lee's Favorite]]." American, Dance Tune. The composition is credited to Zeke Backus in Ryan's Mammoth/Cole's 1000. Backus has been called a New England bandleader and tune composer, although this cannot be substantiated at this time. Some say that Backus was (also?) a minstrel performer, and apparently spent at least some time in San Francisco. However, according to Rice's comprehensive '''Monarchs of Minstrelsy''' (1908), only a Charles Backus was listed in the annals of minstrel performers. It was Charles who was a minstrel in California, and well as the east coast, and he even toured Australia several times. It is not known what, if any, connection he may have had with 'Zeke'.
