She singsabout how things have gotten tough and she’sgonna leave this town, but she doesn’t say“farewell” or “Storyville” in the lyrics.

Dec. 26, 1929; E unp. 14934; Southernmusic pub. co., inc., New York.Found the Victor label, it is “Now Goofy Dust”by Benny [sic] Moten. (Rag is added as genremarker). And the Victor Project agrees, butspells Bennie right.Most references to the 1929 tune call it “New”(RHJA does not), but on what basis? Thecopyright, the Victor Project, and the recordlabel all say “Now.”But never mind that: I tracked it downbecause it is the same tune as “Goofy Dust,”just arranged more for band (the earlierversion featured Moten’s piano solo). Andsince we can definitely confirm Moten for theNow/New version, we can safely assigned himto the 1924 tune as well.Goose Pimples (Fletcher Henderson–Jo Trent)New Orleans Classic Jazz Orch 1145Marty Grosz’s Orphan Newsboys 1225Rec.
