There is some debate about the province of this song. According to his granddaughter, Dave Stamper actually wrote the song when he was working as Nora's accompanist when she played the Vaudeville circuit, and he sold the song to her husband. This was not uncommon at the time. Stampers wrote many songs for the Ziegfield Follies and wrote the score to several the Broadway shows.K8 fan 20:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Today 3/30/08, I came across the Original Royalty Agreement on Shine on Harvest Moon. ( It has been in my basement in a metal box for years. July 8th, 1906, Document from Office of Globe Music Co., 1193 Broadway, New York, Keith and Proctor's Theatre Bldg. It was registered to my Uncle, I do not know how many great are in front of that. His name was Albert W. Koch, for 10,000 copies. He also wrote many other songs, You're the Pride of My Chicken Farm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.92.29.64 (talk) 21:29, 30 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

Google searches for "Albert W. Koch" AND songwriter produced no hits. Or the name and "sheet music". The other claimants do show up in searches. It seems more probable that Koch just published an edition of this very popular song, and had nothing to do with the writing. I'd like to see a scan of the document.

Aren't there any versions of this song in Yiddish? Or German? 216.99.201.238 (talk) 08:43, 18 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Are we sure about "S'no time"? If that means "It's no time," then the apostrophe is in the wrong place. But "Snow time" sounds the same and has the advantage of making sense. Winter is coming. We don't want to sit around outside in winter, so shine for me now, at harvest time (i.e., autumn). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.253.190.82 (talk) 11:25, 1 April 2022 (UTC)Reply

My thinking exactly. 142.189.242.238 (talk) 21:57, 9 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

In fact, see the old sheet music:

I made the edit -- it seems clear that it's "snow time". Chconnor (talk) 04:50, 24 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
