LP creditwas just Goldstein--from 1927 Red Nicholsrecording, said the notes. But clear back atthe 3rd edition in 1993 I changed it to LewGold–Sidney Caine–Eli Dawson with noexplanation. All I had was a parentheticalcomment about a different song with sametitle:Also a Honolulu Blues by w. Grant Clarke/m.Jimmy V. Monaco, 1916, Leo Feist (ASM)So what was I thinking of?

Maybe here: RHJA reportsthat Jack Chapman’s Drake Hotel Orchestrarecorded that title in 1923 on Victor 19237 withcredits Lew Gold-Sidney Caine-E. Dawson.AND Online 78 says the same thing. BUTthat’s a mistake--that label says Nat Goldstein.I can’t find any other evidence linking thosethree guys to that title, so I must presume I gotit from one or both of those sources 20 yearsago.
