At the top of the pink page is "64" and "Willard Robison Remick" written in black pen ink, with "Old Folks" written and with a box drawn around it in large letters in the center. The translucent cream-colored page has the song lyrics written in black ink on pencil-drawn lines, and through it can be seen the music for the piece written on the pink page in black marker ink. "Old Folks" (1938) was composed by Willard Robison and Dedette Lee Hill. The most famous recording is a 1961 version by Miles Davis. This is the only lyric sheet in this music manuscript book, and the taped page indicates that Cheatham both performed this piece on trumpet, then vocals.
