But couldn’t findcopyright.Wait a minute, though. Lord says FF5+2 rec.this as Fireman’s (singular) for Good TimeJazz in 1959, but my CD reissue on GoodTime Jazz says it’s Firemen’s, and creditsMcHugh-Adamson. However, you get a LOTmore hits googling it as fireman’s thanfiremen’s. But Both Sides Now LP databasesays it was plural.Couldn’t find copyright, which is strange,because in 1947 book did find several othersongs from Calendar Girl.OK, confirmed by original LP in collection ofVince Saunders: plural, adamson-mchugh.At the Indian Cabaret(Richard Howard)Ernie Carson & the Castle JB 1277HSM, 1922, Orpheum Music.At the Jazz Band Ball (Nick LaRocca–Larry Shields)Hal Smith’s Creole Sunshine Orch 1078Andy Stein & Friends 1146John Gill’s Dixieland Serenaders 1295Southern Stompers 1414Manhattan Ragtime Orchestra 1419Neville Dickie 1423ASM, 1918, Leo Feist.Hmm...I seem to be finding lots of referencesto him as “La Rocca” (i.e., with a spacebetween La and Rocca. I wonder if there’s anyway to determine that for sure.Well, the odjb.com website run by his son,Jimmy (whom I’ve heard in person), spells itsolid, so I guess he’s as good a source aswe’re likely to find.No, there’s a better one. I found JimmyLaRocca’s email address on that site andasked him directly. To my surprise, heanswered within a couple of hours:“LaRocca is the way Nick LaRocca spelledit.”At the Mississippi Cabaret(Albert Gumble–A.

All my other recordings of thistitle say by Cow Cow Davenport, including myDavenport reissues, one on the rigoriouslyresearched New World Bicentennial series.And Jasen’s big Encyclopedia/Discography/Sheetography book says Davenport.Rec. Davenport 4/29, Gennett 6869,Champion 15726 et al. No composer crediton Champion, just performer “CharlieDavenport.Not copyrighted by either of them 1928-30,although both are in books with other titles.Jasen-Tichenor Rags and Ragtime says itstarted as “Trilby Rag” by Carey Morgan, andthat Davenport “transformed it into ‘AtlantaRag’ and ‘Texas Shout’ (claiming composercredit with each retitling).”I can only presume that Ezell was a mistake.But still suspicious. Doesn’t appear that theGennett & Supertone releases had crediteither; and no copyright 1928-31, although
