We’vedone similar things elsewhere with lyrics or“arr. by” credits.But let’s confirm Bunch & Young: Rust indexshows “Come On and Take Me” asparenthetical subtitle, rec.Roane’s Pennsylvanians (as Sleep, Come...),6/2/32, Victor 24039.

Lord says rec.Dukes of Dixieland, 1951-52, Imperial LP3005.Then again 1956-57, Audio Fidelity AF1840,Carnegie Hall late 1959, Audio FidelityAF1918.Then several others before, finally, PaulBarbarin & His Jazz Band (with Waldron“Frog” Joseph on tb), 7/5/62 in NO, AtlanticSD1410.Then 2/14/64 Frog Joseph band (withBarbarin on drums), Nobility 704.Not in copyright books 1951-53.Well, according to AllMusic.com, this tune byBarbarin Band on 2000 Collectables CD iscredited to traditional. Other than that, can’tfind the remotest hint of a composer credit onany of a zillion hits on it. But it was on lots ofearly Dukes of Dixieland and other NO bandLPs, so perhaps somebody can find a crediton one of them. 9/12/13 queried DaveRobinson and DJML.Haesler found detailed online description of1962 LP by Papa Celestin, Imperial LP-9199,that credited P. Barbarin-W. C. Joseph, surelyright off the LP disc label (opposite side ofdisc is reproduced on the site.).Marek Boym (of DJML) reports: ThePreservation Hall recording (Atlantic) reads"traditional," but I've seen it attributed toBarbarin more than once. Later he came backwith, “I've found another version--by the NewOrleans Heritage Hall Jazz Band (DixielandJubilee 512), apparently from 1973, whichattributes [it] to both Barbarin and Joseph.”And then a blurb from the Dukes of Dixielandweb site: “First Dixieland Jazz Band to record2 Jazz classics written by Paul Barbarin,Bourbon Street Parade and Slide Frog Slide.”Alan Roy of NZ reports, “In the liner notes onmy 1973 GNP Crescendo LP 512 the tune isattributed to Barbarin/Joseph (Travis MusicBMI).” That would be Louis Cottrell’s HeritageHall JB, with Joseph on tb and Barbarin ondrums. Bound to be right.And Dave Robinson had just about all the oldLPs containing the tune:
