Parham 2/2/29, Victor V-38060. Well, Victor label is simply Tiny’sStomp, no mysterious orient. And thecopyright isTiny's stomp; melody by H. S. Parham. © 1c. Sept. 28, 1929; E unp. 11401; Southernmusic pub. co., inc., New York.Oh, crap! Here we are again, with Rustdredging up an Alt title that never got on acopyright or on a record label. Must make alist of them and present them to experts todecide if they should be killed or somehowexplained. Doesn’t seem right to simply leavethem as (parenthetical subtitles), as theysurely weren’t that. My guess is that Victornixed the Oriental Blues title because a tune ofthat title had already been recorded by NobleSissle.Tip-Toe Thru’ the Tulips with Me(Joe Burke–Al Dubin)Barbara Rosene & Her New Yorkers 1422On 1422 as Tip Toe Through the Tulips.Found sheet music on Levy--cover was "TipToe Through the Tulips with Me", but it wasone of those generic covers for all the songsof a show ("The Gold Diggers of Broadway")with the particular tune title in a small box attop. BUT the copyright page was "Tip-ToeThru' the Tulips with Me," a bit of anabomination.Audrey has the same sheet music, seems tobe the original, so we must needs go with thecopyright page. And the 5/13/29 pub.copyright reg. reads same way: Tip-toe thru’the tulips with me, w. Dubin/m..
