Austin Miles)Louisiana Repertory Jazz Ensemble 1029Grand Dominion JB 1291Well, well, well: Great Song Thesaurus says(He Walks with Me) In the Garden. 1912.w.m. C. Austin Miles. "3rd most popularhymn among Protestant churchgoers"according to poll by the Christian Herald.[placed alphabetically under In...Variety Music Cavalcade says just "In theGarden," C. Austin Miles, Hall-Mack, 1912.8/25: Mike Montgomery sends a 1917republication of the sheet music, with just "Inthe Garden." But it’s a republication by theoriginal publishers, Hall-Mack, so theyprobably wouldn’t be changing it.We must go with that. 1940 repub. byRodeheaver-Hall-Mack also “In the Garden.”8/28, Caulfield: Only registration card is aspublished tune, 10-17-17, plus later 1928arrangement, as In the Garden, C.

Harrison-MetaOrred.Pistorius says they took it from Bunk JohnsonTrio recording of 1946.Hmmm...Duke Univ. has three copies, all sayby Annie Fortescue Harrison and Meta Orred,but none is dated . . . a sign that it could bevery old (I’ve seen other 19th century & oldersheets that had no date).Aha, we’re getting closer. Fats Rhythm onreissue on RCA Vintage LP credits Harrison,and it’s definitely same as our tune. And myBunk Johnson reissue on Brit. Jazz Greatslabel credits Harrison-Orred.The Lied, Art Song, and Choral Texts Archivesays it’s text by Meta Orred, music by AnnieFortescue Harrison and gives pub. date of1877. Hyperion Records website says thesame thing. And wikipedia says"In the Gloaming", an 1877 song composedby Annie Fortescue Harrison with lyricstaken from a poem by Meta Orred.Guess that settles it.In the Good Old Summertime(George Evans–Ren Shields)John Gill’s Dixieland Serenaders 1295Grand Dominion JB 1337Canary Cottage Dance Orchestra 1400ASM, 1902, Howley, Haviland & Dresser.In the Groove (Willie “The Lion” Smith)Neville Dickie 1176There was also a Bechet tune of that title.Rec.
