Adams, Spencer G 18??-19?? USA ?, ? - ?, ?
1900-1929 residing in Williamsport Pennsylvania but a Spencer G Adams cannot be identified there in those years, it was probably one of the many composers often under pseudonym (or one of a few composers under many pseudonyms) employed by the music publisher Vandersloot in Williamsport ; Spencer Adams may have been the composer James Milton Black (1856-1938) of Williamsport ; if the pseudonym Spencer Adams was recycled with subsequent composers it may also have been the pseudonym (especially Spencer G Adams) of composer Mabel F Gohl (1884-1981) of Williamsport who did not compose earlier than 1905 : see the pages for Black and Gohl

Stamped with a misleading advertisement for a so called Companion Song by Spencer Adams, we wish to give this Notice: That Stephen Adams writes for no other house than Boosey & Co., and does not write "Companion" songs to any of his compositions. this was a nonsense "Warning" of Boosey & Co. because Spencer Adams' "Oh, shining light" was in the newspapers called a companion song to his own "The Holy City" and never called his "The Holy City" a companion song to Stephen Adams song "The Holy City"
