Jelly Roll expert, Rich Rouchard [sp?],collaborator with Laurie Wright on bio of JellyRoll, writing liner notes for meticulouslydocumented Jelly Roll reissue series onFrench Media 7 series:“Victor 38024 Georgia Swing/MournfulSerenade... This piece, copyrighted by JRM15 Aug 28 as piano solo and on 1 June 29 asorchestration, is in fact a reworking of ‘She’sCrying for Me (Blues),’ which Santo Pecorahad recorded with the New Orleans RhythmKings on 23 January 1925. Morton hadupdated it by adding riffs and generallyrearranging it.”LC copyright cards:1. (published) She’s crying for me. By SantoPecora. 5/20/25, Melrose Bros. Music co.2. (published) Georgia swing by Ferd, JellyRoll, Morton and Santo Pecora. 8/15/28,Melrose Bros. Music Inc. Chicago.These entries are ample evidence for treatingthem separately and for crying instead ofcryin’.2013 review: All our experts on this passthrough the book have argued in favor of“breaking out” similar tunes as differentcompositions if they were recorded underdifferent titles/composers rather than nitpickingto find a degree of difference. Thisone’s a lot easier, since both titles werecopyrighted.(I Got a Woman, Crazy for Me)She’s Funny That Way (Neil Morét*–Richard A. Whiting)Dry Throat Five 1114Louis Mazetier & François Rilhac 1218Charleston Chasers 1314Le Petit Jazzband 1389ASM, 1918, Villa Morét; w. Whiting/m. Morét.She’s Got It All (Buck Evans)Brahmin Bellhops 1305See the note about Evans at Blue Bungalow.Turns out that all 19 tracks on 1305 werewritten by Evans, who played piano on thesession.She’s No Trouble (Thamon Hayes)Keith Nichols & the Blue Devils 1387Record had She’s No Trouble (Sweetheart).Rec. Moten (with this odd title, says Rust, andwith Hayes on tb), 9/7/28, Victor V-38021,24893, A-1046.Copyright has no sub-/alt-title:She's no trouble; melody by T. Hayes. © 1 c.Dec. 17, 1930; E unp. 32287; Southernmusic pub. Co., inc., New York.Victor V-38021 label has no “Sweetheart” nordoes 24893.The Victor Project shows “Sweetheart” as analternate title based on ledgers, but since thatdidn’t get in the copyright or record labels, wemust assume it’s one of those cases where theband called it “Sweetheart” before they got inthe studio, but the record was released as“She’s No Trouble” and that’s how thecopyright was filed. “Sweetheart” is ahistorical curiosity, not a subtitle or alternativetitle.She’s One Sweet Show Girl(Edward Grossman–Ted Ward)San Francisco Starlight Orchestra 1271CD had Ed Grossman, Ted Ward.Rec. Ben Pollack, 10/15/28, Victor 21743, HMVB-5596.Copyright isShe's one sweet show girl; theme song ofShow girl, words and music by EdwardGrossman and Ted Ward [pseud. of EdwardDenver Ward]; pf. and ukulele acc. © Oct.31, 1928; 2 c.

But we may want to think about Edvs. Edward for Grossman.Lots of other entries for them in 1928 book,always Edward Grossman & Ted Ward. MtSUhas the sheet, and indexes them as Ted Ward& Edward Grossman, so we must follow that.She’s Still Dizzy (George Temple)Des Plantes’ Washboard Wizards 1409CD said just George Temple.Rec.
