Helm–Leigh Jazz & Blues Review 1332Miss Lulu White’s Red Hot Creole JB 13702013 review: Rec. Oliver 4/6/23, Gennett5133, Brunswick 02202, et al. The credit onthe Gennett label is Oliver-Johnson, andeverybody since then has presumed that“Johnson” was Bill Johnson, the banjo playeron the session (who also played bass and wasa bandleader in his own right).Copyright isJust gone; melody, by J. Oliver [of U.S.], arr.by Lillian Harding [of U.S.] © 1 c. May 21,1923; E 563941; Joseph Oliver, Chicago.BUT what I never found, but Bill Haesler did,wasJust GONE; melody, by J. Oliver [of U.S.],arr. by Lillian Johnson [of U.S.] © 1 c. Apr.11, 1923; E 561597; Joseph Oliver, Chicago.[Beware that this entry in the online 1923acatalog has many typos, including spellingthe title Just GO’NE, thus foiling mostsearches for it.]And here’s the explanation: Lil Hardin was, atthe time she rejoined the King Oliver band andmet Louis, married to singer Jimmy Johnson.She divorced Johnson, and helped Louisdivorce his first wife, Daisy; Louis & Lil weremarried in 1924. We must guess that thecopyright was filed with her as Johnson first,then resubmitted to reflect her divorce andreversion to her maiden name. (Seehttp://womenshistory.about.com/od/musicjazzblues/a/lil_armstrong.htm..)So now we can be pretty sure that theJohnson on the label was Lil. Now how toreflect it? If we put it down as Lil Hardin, it’llconfuse the hell out of everybody, so I guesswe make it Lil with an explanation.There was alsoJust gone rag. © Joseph Oliver, Chicago.Notice rec'd May 21, 1923; recorded, v. 5, p.169. 145.Just Imagine (B. G. De Sylva–Lew Brown–Ray Henderson)Ingham–Grosz Hot Cosmopolites 1285Confirmed by 1927 sheet music; from GoodNews.Just Like a Butterfly (That’s Caught inthe Rain) (Mort Dixon–Harry Woods)Canary Cottage Dance Orchestra 1400Confirmed by my 1927 sheet music, w.

Dean–James W. Acuff)Black Eagle JB 10928/20: Rouse has music & lyrics in twohymnals: One is "Over in the Glory-Land," byW. S. Nickle, copyright 1894 held by Chas. H.Gabriel. Other is "Just Over in the Glory-Land,"by James W. Acuff and Emmett S. Dean,copyright 1906 held by Acuff-Dean.Rouse: The Dean/Acuff "Just Over..." is theone all the bands play; it’s the one SamMorgan and Bunk Johnson recorded and theone the [Sunshine] Skiffle Band recorded.Haven’t heard the Stomp Offs, so I don’t know.Bands play both strains. The Nickle "Over inthe..." has a strain similar to one of the strainsin the Dean/Acuff, but that’s about it. Thereare many, many copyrights with Gloryland inthe title by many different composers.So we’ll consider "Over in the Gloryland" to bean often-encountered, but mistaken,misrepresentation of the title of the Dean-Acuffsong. That it also is very similar to thepublished title of the W. S. Nickle song issomething we can do nothing about.8/28, Caulfield: No Acuff-Dean registration forOver in the Gloryland. Registration for JustOver in the Glory-Land, 4-6-06, with Dean &Acuff in the publisher line. Looking it up in theclaimant file shows the title written with Glory-Land being Glory Land (two unhyphenatedwords) and credits: music: Emmett SidneyDean, words: James Warren Acuff.Just Peachy (Tom Brier)Tom Brier 1274Just Wait Till You See My Baby Dothe Charleston (see Wait Till YouSee My Baby Do the Charleston)Just You, Just Me (Jesse Greer–Raymond Klages)Don Ewell 1077Paul Asaro & Neville Dickie 1404Odd: S&P confirm composers, w.

Robbins 1929.KKalamity Kid (Ferd Guttenberger)David Thomas Roberts 1021Elite Syncopators 1358I’m suspicious of DTR’s Ferdinand Alexander.All my other recordings say just Ferd, andsurely that comes from the sheet music,which, surprisingly, I was unable to find online.Brier reports Ferd G. He also has three otherpieces by Guttenberger, two as Ferd and oneas F. A. I think DTR was getting fancy; as arag composer, the guy generally was Ferd.Kamaquit (unknown)Minstrels of Annie Street 1272
Online search found FAR more hits on the1915 rag than the 1916 song--perhaps thesong didn’t go anywhere.Kansas City Blues (Euday L. Bowman–George H.

Aug. 20, 1923; E570418; Melrose bros. music co., Chicago.Rec. JRM pno solo 7/18/23, Gennett 5218,singular on label. But then with RHP 6/11/28,Victor V-38010 as Stomps.So copyright and first recording are Stomp,but clearly the plural form is a legitimatealternative title.Karnival on the Keys(Willie “The Lion” Smith)Tom Roberts 13921945, says Roberts. Alas, not in copyrightbooks 1945-66. Found it mentioned in twosheet music collections as by Smith, but didn’tfind an individual piece of sheet music. AndBob Pinsker attributed it to Smith (“from a1945 transcription by Harold Potter”) when heplayed it at the June 2003 meeting of theOrange County Ragtime Society. That’ll haveto do. But transcribed from what? I can’t findany evidence that Smith ever recorded it.Kater Street Rag (Bennie Moten)Down Home JB 1316Keith Nichols & the Blue Devils 1387Rec.
