another says 1930 on Banner label. Looks likevocal was by Scrappy Lambert.Here’s where Douglas may have come from:Online 78 shows this song by Roy Carlson’sDance Orchestra, Romeo 1318, 1930, byDouglas.There is, though, a song of that titlecopyrighted in 1930, but it’s w. Dollo Sargent,m. Bobbie Freshman. GLC SONIC is all over the map. Songs of thattitle by [artist/composer/year?]Goldie Hill/Floyd Tillman/ Decca 45Guido Deiro/Rose/Columbia 78Connie Boswell/Floyd Tillman/Decca 78Roy Carlson/Douglas/Romeo 78Louis Cohen aho/V. Rose/Arto 78Tiny Hill/Tillman/OKeh 78Max Fells’ Della Robbia Orch/Rose-Zany-Brown/Edison 78MTSU music collection has one by VincentRose & Richard Coburn, 1921; Floyd Tillman,1939. Aha, found the lyrics to the 1921 Rose-Coburn song, it is NOT the Adrian Schubertrecording.Aha, though: Roy Carlson’s Dance Orchestrais a pseudonym used by Adrian Schubert.And Online 78 says that the Roy Carlsonrecording of this title on Banner 694 is Rose-Zany-Brown-Douglas! It shows same four onthe Regal 10007 release of the same side.So we’re still stuck. Can’t really rely on Carlfor Douglas. Zany would be King. Brown &Rose could be anybody.Queried Vince Giordano, who was on therecord and is the major collecltors in that area.His response was not encouraging:Without a time machine...we will neverknow the info.I had Alex Hassan go to the Library ofCongress a few years ago and check 8 or socomposers that show up on those "B" sidesof those late 1920s / early 30s cheap-olabels . . . names like Reynolds [who wasalways paired with Lou Gold on Lou Goldsides] Maguire, Clarkson, Manning, Rizziand even known names : Andy Sannella,Mike Mosiello, Willie Creager . . . no musicor copyright listing show up for the tunes ornames that we know are listed on thoserecords.I think those guys got a flat fee / nocopyright / no royalties and . . ..we will neverknow many of their first names unless apayroll register or cancelled checks fromthose small record companies turn up onthese guys.This is painful. I think the only answer is to gowith the four last names that seem to havebeen attached to various early recordings.I’ll Keep Sittin’ on It (If I Can’t Sell It)(Andy Razaf–Alex Hill)Original Salty Dogs JB 1233Rec. Georgia White, 5/12/36, Decca 7192.Subtitle and composers Hill-Razaf confirmedby Decca label. Not in copyright books 1935-37--nor should it be. This is another old folksong that has been repeated in dozens ofvariations. Razaf-Hill put their names on theirversion, but I’m sure they didn’t really write it.I’ll Make Fun for You (John Nesbitt–Charlie Stanton)Roaring Seven JB 1019Lande’s Rhythm Club Orchestra 1327
