No composercredit on OKeh or Biltmore labels.Lady, Need Your Ashes Hauled?(unknown)Evergreen Classic JB 1202Title on LP was “Want Your Ashes Hauled”--sowhy did we change it here? I have noexplanatory note.2013 review: Rust has it as “Want Your AshesHauled” by Willie “Scarecrow” Owens,5/15/30, Gennett 7209, Champion 16014,Varsity 6041. Varsity label has no composercredit; performer credit is just Scare Crow.Mike Schwimmer’s liner notes say,“Want Your Ashes Hauled,” on which DavieLoomis performs vocally, is one of those“naughty” black blues tunes that proliferatedaround 1930. Fats Waller and Andy Razafwrote some, as did both Clarence andSpencer Williams. These were published byJoe Davis Music in little song booklets calledSongs My Father Taught Me NOT to Sing andSongs They DON’T Sing in School. The title,of course, is a euphemism for “a little lovin’.”The only references I can find to the recordingare on Online 78 and don’t show composercredit--no surprise. So unknown is definitelyright.But, BOB ERDOS, if the only recording in Rustmatches the title the band used on the LP,why did we change it? This could only havecome from you: Do you remember why youdid it?Lady of the Evening (Irving Berlin)Bob Pelland & Bob Pilsbury C 1212Confirmed by 11/2/22 copyright reg., fromMusic Box Revue 1922-23.Lady’s in Love with You, The(Burton Lane–Frank Loesser)Neville Dickie 1052Peter Ecklund’s Melody Makers 1175Confirmed by 1/24/39 copyright reg., fromSome Like It Hot, w.
