It seems like I learn something every day; I had no idea that "Beelzebub" dated back to 1887. I did my M.A. thesis on U.S. Army bands between the Civil and Spanish American Wars and in the course of my research, I found a newspaper item from Hays, Kansas telling
the Musician Oscar Grett played a tuba solo at a concert of the 18th U.S. Infantry Band at FOrt Hays in 1887 or 1888. I had always assumed it was either "Happy THought" or "Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep". Thank you guys for the info.
