Found sheet music at U. Maine, confirmsRoland E. Llab, copyright 1921 Witmark &Sons. But there’s nothing on the sheet thatwould give away Llab’s identity. Countlessonline sites identify Llab as Ball, but nobodyexplains it, not even the guy who wrote amultipage blog about the song.That mysterious copyrightencyclopedia.comsite shows renewals of the copyright in 1978and 1979 (which makes no sense); one saysby Ball & Whiting, the other Llab (pseudonymof Ball) & Whiting.The Songwriters Hall of Fame article on Ballcredits it to him, but no mention lf Llab. S&Plist it and the composer as Llab, no mention ofpseudonym.Finally must give in, but it’s stunning to methat you can Google both composer namesand saloon every which way, get hundreds ofhits, and not one of them addresses thisdirectly.9/22/13 got note from Adams:I found my copy of Saloon in the 1921folder, and I saw that Saloon was publishedby M. Witmark. I have the history bookabout the Witmarks by Isidore Witmark. In itI found that Ernie Ball only publishedthrough the Witmarks, and his middle namewas Roland.Salty Bubble (Ray Ronnei)Ted Shafer’s Jelly Roll JB 1278Shafer’s notes:“Salty Bubble,” composed by cornetist RayRonnei, is the first number on JerryKaehele’s Good Time Levee Stompers,which was recorded for Merry MakersRecord Company [in 1962].Lord agrees.

That site above isn’tproof of anything, it just reports lthat the piecewas recorded twice by modern brass bands.Aha, NO Ragtime Orch recorded it, dated it to1914. Whereupon I foundMarch salutation; by Roland F. Seitz; band.4to. © Apr. 15, 1914; 2 c. Apr. 18, 1914; E338620; R. F. Seitz, Glen Rock. Pa.Well, French & Brit bands recorded a“Salutation” in 1950s-‘70s, but don’t know ifit’s the same tune. Many New Orleansorientedbands (especially Brits) recorded itas “Salutation March” beginning with OriginalZenith Brass Band in 1946.Most places selling current publications of thesheet music call it either “March Salutation” orjust “Salutation,” but plenty of SalutationMarch” as well. American Legion Bandrecorded it for Victor in 1926 as “MarchSalutation.”But look at this: In 1916 he came back andcopyrighted it again as Salutation March:Salutation march; by Roland F.
