Albert C. Sweet
Albert C. Sweet (July 7, 1876 – May 12, 1945) was an American bandleader, cornetist, and composer. Over the course of his career, Sweet served as music director and soloist for the Edison Phonograph Company, bandmaster of the Ringling Brothers Circus, and eventually founded his own band, The White Hussars. Sweet and his band were an important part of the Chautauqua movement (in which touring ensembles made up of entertainers and noted speakers ventured from town to town) eventually earning him the moniker "Mr. Chautauqua".
