ASM, 1926, Consolidated Music.Copyright:Heebie jeebies; fox trot, words and music byBoyd Atkins and Richard M. Jones, arr. byChas. L. Cooke orch. 4to. © July 16, 1926; 2c. Aug. 6; E 645170; Consolidated musicpub. house, Chicago.What? Did I overlook Jones when I checkedthat sheet in Audrey’s collection in June 2011?But see this old note from Vince Saunders,sent when the Heebie Jeebies first startedpiling up:Boyd Atkins, 1926 (I have sheet music).There was a recording by Tommy Ladnierwith Lovie Austin’s Blues Serenaders(Paramount 12283) in 1925 of a tune withthe same title but a different melody andarrangement--this is the one that Art Hodesdid on SOS 1184, not Boyd Atkins’s tune.Surely if Vince had the sheet music, hewouldn’t also have overlooked a co-composer,would he? No. 6/14/13 he double-checked,says Consolidated, 1926, w & m Atkins, nomention of Jones. Also, “A Rube Bennettarrangement,” no mention of Chas. L. Cookeas in the copyright.And the Armstrong/Hot Five labels had onlyAtkins. For some reason, between the filing ofthe copyright and the later recording of thetune and publishing of the music, Jones wentbye-bye.7/3/13 Audrey confirms that 1926 sheet hasAtkins only, points out that the copyright Icited was for an orchestration, not the originalcomposition, so perhaps Jones hadsomething to do with that.Heebie Jeebies (Tommy Ladnier)Art Hodes Blues Serenaders 1184Rec.
