(Harry Woods–Billy Rose–Mort Dixon)Down Home JB 1190Bob Schulz & His Frisco JB 1349LP & CD as Peoria.Odd--not in S&P or Rust. Maybe becauseHassan’s sheet music says title is “I Wish’t IWas in Peoria,” w. BR-MD/m. HW, 1925, IrvingBerlin.Copyright agrees:wish't I was in Peoria; w Billy Rose and MortDixon, m Harry Woods, of U.S. © Nov. 12,1925; 2 c. Nov. 13; E 628528; Irving Berlin,inc., New York.And that’s the way Rust lists it: rec. Bailey’sLucky Seven, 12/18/25, Gennett 3224,Champion 15062. Sam Lanin, 12/29/25,Banner 1674, Domino 3647 et al. Russo &Fiorito, 12/19/25, Victor 19924. Jack Stillman,11/25, Bell 382.Finally, found the sheet music in the Arpincollection in Canada. That’s indeed title oncover and copyright page.I Wonder (Ikey Robinson)Original Salty Dogs JB 1233(RUST): Jacksonville Harmony Trio (as IWonder?), Savannah, 8/13/27, Victor 21204(but Victor Project says this by Robert H.Cloud).Robinson didn’t record it himself, according toRust. Looked through copyright books from1927 to 1929 (first year Robinson recorded) to1935 (last year he recorded), found no fewerthan 34 registrations of that title, but none byRobinson. But then in Google searching onthe title and Robinson, I fell into the 1943 bookonline:I wonder; w & melody. © 1 c. Feb. 23, 1943;E unp. 324823; Ikey L. Robinson, Chicago.I Wonder If You Still Care for Me?(Ted Snyder–Harry B. Smith–Francis Wheeler)Bo Grumpus 1388CD said by Snyder, from 1921, no ? at end.Hmmm...not in Rust. Aha, online found labelof Victor 18806, “I Wonder If You Still Care forMe?” by Harry B. Smith-Ted Snyder, recordedby Charles H. Hart, 8/30/21. Bound to besame tune. AND found the sheet music atTempleton, pub. Waterson, Berlin & SnyderCo., 1921. No ? on cover, but definitely thereon copyright page. AND it’s lyrics Harry B.Smith & Francis Wheeler, music Snyder. Notethat the 1921 copyright reg. indeed said justSnyder-Smith, but obviously Wheeler got ahand in before it was published, and sheetmusic always wins out when it’s concurrentwith other sources.I Wonder What’s Become of Joe?(Maceo Pinkard–Roy Turk)Dry Throat Five 1151Rosy McHargue 1253ASM has it too: 1926, Shapiro, Bernstein; w.Turk/m. Pinkard.(And let the record show that I just added the? to the title above based on the sheet music;it’s not a question either.)I Wonder Where My Baby Is To-night(Walter Donaldson–Gus Kahn)Marty Grosz /Keepers of the Flame 1158I Wonder Where My Easy Rider’s Gone(Shelton Brooks)Le Petit Jazzband de Mr Morel 1344ASM, 1913, Will Rossiter.(I Would Do) Anything for You(Claude Hopkins–Alex Hill–Bob Williams)Humphrey Lyttelton Rhythmakers 1111Dry Throat Five 1151Charleston Chasers 1376 2013 addition: S&P andLissauer are technically correct according tothe Chicago Style Manual, but we decided toalphabetize under the name we think peopleare most likely to know it by. However, thisdoes remind me that we really should have across-ref from the “correct” title of “Anythingbut you.”2013 review: Copyright isI would do anything for you; fox-trot, wordsand music by Alexander Hill, Bob Williamsand Claude Hopkins. © Jan. 25, 1932; 2 c.Jan. 25; E pub. 28105; Joe Davis, inc., NewYork.But this could be trouble: Rust has a zillionentries for it, but notes that it is “sometimesshows as “I’d do anything for you,” “I woulddo most anything for you,” and “Anything foryou.” But in this case there’s original sheetmusic to go by...except that1. The copy at U. Maine is pub. by Joe Davis,1932, has Red McKenzie on cover, and title oncover isI WOULD DOANYTHING FOR YOUbut I can’t see copyright page. And bizarrely,Red McKenzie is not among the 23 differentrecordings of it listed in Rust. Davis wasobviously proud that McKenzie performed thesong, but he’s the only guy who didn’t recordit!2. Copy at MTSU is pub. by George Simon,1932. Bought it: cover page is same asDavis/McKenzie cover above, but copyrightpage is clear:(I WOULD DO)ANYTHING FOR YOUIce and Snow (or Don’t Leave Mein the Ice and Snow)(Tony Jackson)Mahogany Hall Stompers 1221ASM, 1917, Will Rossiter clearly shows it thisway:Ice and Snow(or Don’t Leave Me in the Ice and Snow). We previously had it under “Don’t LeaveMe...”)Ice Cream (see I Scream, You Scream)(I’d Climb the Highest Mountain) If IKnew I’d Find You (Lew Brown–Sidney Clare)Dick Sudhalter & Connie Jones 1207
