Must look for LC cy card.Now here’s our copyright for the “Gillham”tune:Pleasure mad; words and melody by A.Gillam [sic]. © 1 c. Feb. 23, 1928; E 686238';Archie Gillam, Chicago.And that’s the way he’s listed in the index,Archie Gillam. There is an Art Gillham in theindex with five songs to his credit (one ofwhich is named “Pussy”). And for what it’sworth, Art Gillham has several songscopyrighted each year 1927-29, but there areno other Archie Gillam entries. He appearsone other place in this index, with Billy Smytheon “Mean Blues” from 1923.Well, shit! The Gennett 6454 label saysGillans too. But I’m going to stick with Gillambased on the copyright reg. It’s more likelythat the Gennett label introduced the typothan the copyright book, and since theChampion was just a reissue of the Gennett,they’d of course have copied the label infofrom Gennett.Pliny, Come Kiss Yo’ Baby(Dave Reed, Jr.)Bo Grumpus 1388CD had “Pliny, Come Kiss Your Baby.”1899, says the CD.
