Two of our great, great uncle Philip FALTER's sons went into the music business together. Frederick and Philip FALTER Jr. formed "Falter Brothers Music Publishers" at 47 West 48th Street in New York City in about 1903. The family tradition is that Frederick was in love with the famous actress and entertainer Eva TANGUAY, who was known as the “I don’t care” girl, her motto. After their love affair was broken off, Frederick never married. He wrote a song, copyrighted in 1904, while they were still "an item" titled "If You’re In Love Say Cuckoo." The sheet music cover was drawn by Philip who was an excellent artist, and it featured a photograph of Eva TANGUAY.
