Description
Wrote many songs, including When Johnny Comes Marching Home, Good News from Home, We are Coming Father Abraham, Seeing Nellie Home, and Famous 22nd Regiment March.
Produced the World's Peace Jamboree (1872), which had a 2,000 piece orchestra and 20,000 voice chorus. Johann Strauss, Jr., was paid $100,000 to appear at these concerts -- the only time he visited America.
It was Gilmore and his band who started the new familiar tradition of greeting the New Year in Times Square, New York.
