Lion& Dot T. Steed, 1917, Louisville.2013 review: Rec. State Street Ramblers,3/13/31, Champion 16320, 40007; Superior2670 (as Speed Jeffries & His Night Owls);Savoy 503, Jazz Classic 515, Jazz Collector L-83. Fess Williams, 4/22/29, Victor V-38077.(The Fess Williams record is a different tune,by Walter H. Brown, copyrighted in 1929.)Neither RJHA or Online 78 show composercredit for the State Street Ramblers record onChampion, but Online 78 does show Melrosefor the Speed Jeffries version on Superior2670. But Online 78 has been so flaky oncomposer credits that I hate to give it morethan a nickel’s worth of credence. However,Haesler reports that George Kay’s Superiorcatalog also reports Frank M. as composer onthis label: “from the George Kay 'Superior'Catalog Listing Part 4 in my copy of RecordResearch magazine No. 42.”Well, hell—I found a very poor photo of theChampion 40007 label, which has a credit.First name totally unreadable, but last namelooks like it could be Melrose. But oops, YaleUniversity library has an index listing forChampion 40007 that shows Lester Melroseand Frank Melrose as composers. Could theillegible “first name” I saw have been“Melrose-“? I don’t think so, but it couldpossibly have been Frank, so I guess we stickwith this for now.Kentucky Sunrise (Karl L.
