They have twocopies, crediting all four, dated 1925, pub.Mills, but this is bound to be the 1939 reissueadding Parish that Audrey has in hercollection.Indiana Historical Society has a copy that theydate to 1925, pub. by Jack Mills, by Voynow,Carmichael & Mills, but all they show is thecover, no copyright page. It does, however,call the piece “Novelty Piano Solo,” so nolyrics until Parish wrote them in 1925. We canonly guess what Dick Voynow and Irving Millscontributed to get their names added toHoagy’s when it was published.Interesting: Hogan Archive at Tulane has a “c.1924, pub. Jack Mills" arrangement for danceorchestra by Elmer Schoebel that listscomposers as Voynow, Carmichael, Mills.This has the virtue of matching the 1925copyright registration. That 1925 copyrightreg. ought to mean that it was published assheet music that way, but it’s possible, Isuppose, that the reference was to this bandarrangement.Well, even if we don’t find any 1925 “pure”sheet music, we’ve seen enough, between the1925 copyright and all the early recordings, tocredit this to Voynow-Carmichael-Mills. (Isn’t itodd, though, that Voynow always gets firstbilling ahead of Carmichael?)And a couple of weeks after the above,Haesler came up withhttp://www.network54.com/Forum/27140/message/1378227821/Speaking+of+%26quot;Riverboat+Shuffle.%26quot;a page by a chap named Albert Haim who didall the same research and came to prettymuch the same conclusions that I did.Jan 2014 afterthought: Oops, since Artie Shawand the Salty Dogs, among others, haverecorded this by its earlier name, we mustinclude that as an alternative title.Riverina Dreams (Roger Bell)Steve Waddell’s Creole Bells 13481949 in one place, 1959 in another, saysWaddell in liner notes.1949 may be right, says Haesler, confirmingthe circumstances for Roger Bell’s havingwritten it.

Ihave 54 recordings of the tune: 5 creditDorsey only; 31 say Dorsey-Jones; 1 is Jonesalone and several are Oliver.Well, here’s where Jones comes from: Theoriginal Oliver OKeh 40034 label credits Thos.Dorsey-Rich.
