He sang this tune on Owls’ recording.May want to say Nappy Lamare--as he isknown.--4>2013 review: Rec. NO Owls (w/ Lamare &Bowman), 10/26/27, Columbia 1261-D. Andoops, Columbia label says Throwin’, by LaMaire and Bolman!And see the copyright:Throwing the horns; words by H. Lamare,music by W. Bolman and H. Lamare; violin.© 1 c. Feb. 4. 1928; E 682839; WilliamBolman and Hilton Lamare, New Orleans.Well, the name index in Rust shows that RedBowman had only one recording date, thatday in 1927 when he made three sides oncornet with the Owls (singing on one of them).Rust also has a listing for a Red Bolmar,trumpet, who made four sides with LouisPrima on 11/16/36.I think it’s fairly likely that Bolmar and Bowmanand Bolman are all the same guy, or maybeit’s just a coincidence that composer Bolmanand vocalist Bowman had similar names, butwe have the copyright registration AND therecord label agreeing that it was written byWilliam Bolman, which we must honor. Ifanybody got it wrong, it’s Rust in hispersonnel list.Thumpin’ ’n’ Bumpin’ (James P.Johnson–Harry White–Andy Razaf)Des Plantes’ Washboard Wizards 14098/12/13 Pinsker found the copyright:Thumpin' 'n' Bumpin'; words and music byHarry White, Andy Razaf and Jimmy (J.P.)Johnson, arr. by Teddy Raph; orch. pts. 4to.c Aug. 14, 1931 2 c.
