He was the eldest son of Robert James Button and Mary Alberta “Bertie” (Howe) Button. He was a farmer for a short time, then a factory equipment supervisor, as a machinist and tool-and-dye maker, in the maintenance departments at Pratt and Whitney and Appleford Paper Products in the Dundas-Hamilton area. As a young man, Harold played his E-flat alto saxophone at over 400 engagements with local bands from 1936-1940. His records show him playing at Amberley, Belgrave, Dungannon, Formosa, Goderich, Holyrood, Inverhuron, Kincardine, Kingsbridge, Kintail, Lochalsh, Lucknow, Paisley, Paramount, Port Elgin, Ripley, Rockford, Teeswater, Underwood, Walkerton, Wingham, and other places, mostly on Friday and Saturday nights, in addition to benefits, fairs and barn dances. When he moved to Dundas after 1940, he played locally at Dundas Music Hall and other venues, with Eph Slote’s Orchestra from 1943 to 1946, then with Howard Miellers’ Orchestra from 1946 to November 1948, when he formed Harold Button’s Orchestra in Dundas, Ontario. The Orchestra was initially four pieces and subsequently expanded to seven pieces. Harold Button wrote many arrangements for his band, which played at Ancaster, Ontario and surrounding area until 1967. After retiring, Harold lived in Kincardine until he passed away on July 3, 1999.

  • MY SATURDAY NIGHT at the GRAND OLE OPRY by Wayne Hogan Herald•Citizen, Cookeville, TN Sunday, 9 December 2012, Pg
    MY SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE GRAND OLE OPRY By Wayne Hogan Herald•Citizen, Cookeville, TN Sunday, 9 December 2012, pg. C•4 ‘Writer’s Corner’ Editor’s note: This was originally written by Hogan in 1993. They call it the “Grand Ole Opry.” That’s what former newspaper reporter George D. Hay, its inventor, named it not long after the first group of performers had stood before their open mikes that first Saturday night and had their down•home music and vaudeville•comic routines beamed out over Nashville’s WSM•650 “clear•channel” radio to nearly all of America, way back in 1925. Nineteen hundred and twenty five. The year Nashville’s venerable Grand Ole Opry was born. It’s hardly missed a heartbeat since. Almost since its first moments, the Grand Ole Opry has been Mecca to the millions who’ve, over the years, come to Nashville to savor the finest in “country” music. It was not till a few short years ago, through, that I became one of those “savorers.” For a long time, I hated “country music” (which, as I’m sure you know, has been called “hillbilly music” much of its life and mine). Could barely stand to think of it, much less listen to it. Well, to make what could easily be a longer story shorter, Susan and I’d often talked about getting a couple of tickets and driving the 80 miles to Nashville some Saturday night to experience this “Grand Ole Opry” thing in person. See if it was all that our mind’s eye image had it cracked up to be.

  • A History of Music in Old Mount Vernon, Ohio with Particular Attention to Woodward Hall and the Nineteenth-Century American Opera House
    A HISTORY OF MUSIC IN OLD MOUNT VERNON, OHIO WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO WOODWARD HALL AND THE NINETEENTH-CENTURY AMERICAN OPERA HOUSE A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elizabeth Bleecker McDaniel, B.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2003 Master's Examination Committee Approved by Dr. Graeme M. Boone, Adviser Dr. Charles M. Atkinson _________________________ Adviser Mr. Christopher R. Weait School of Music ABSTRACT During the antebellum period, the town of Mount Vernon, Ohio had a flourishing music scene that included performances by both local amateur societies and professional touring groups. When Woodward Hall, located on the top floor of a four-story commercial building, opened its doors to the public in 1851, it provided the town with its first dedicated theater. Newspaper items and other early sources show that the hall was a focus of public culture in the 1850s, hosting concerts, plays, lectures, and art exhibits as well as community activities including dances, church fundraisers, and school exhibitions. The early source materials for Mount Vernon, however, like those for many small towns, are lacunary, and especially so in the case of Woodward Hall. These shortcomings are compensated, to some extent, by materials relating to theaters of similar size and age in other towns, which offer points of comparison for the Woodward and prove it to be a typical mid-nineteenth-century American theater in some respects, and a distinctive one in others. Modern-day music histories have heretofore been silent on the subject of music and opera houses in small towns despite Oscar Sonneck’s call, some ninety years ago, for local music historiography as a necessary first step in creating a complete history of American music.
