and Donald Lambert, MC'd by Rudi Blesh,Blake played this piece - and called it "BlackKeys on Parade"!Now it REALLY gets messed up. Eubiehad another piece called "Tricky Fingers".You will find a recording listed as "TrickyFingers" which is - "Troublesome Ivories",and VICE VERSA! Blake plays "TrickyFingers" and shouts at the end "You don'tthink that's Troublesome? Sho' is!".Anyway, Blake finally got around tocopyrighting it - in 1971! See:TROUBLESOME IVORIES; m Eubie Blake(James Hubert Blake) 6 p. c James Hubert(Eubie) Blake; 14May71; EU254031.Then it finally saw print, in the MaxMorath-edited folio "Giants of Ragtime",Edward B. Marks Music, 1971, along with"Tricky Fingers".And he’s absolutely right. All three titles beginwith different introductory flourishes but endup being quite similar. And actually, mytunelist for my LP>CD remaster of The Wizardof the Ragtime Piano has a tunelist entry of“Ragtime Rage (Blake—Tricky Fingers)”But Pinsker followed up with this afterthought:Part of what I wrote is probably confusing.I don't mean to imply that "Tricky Fingers"and "Troublesome Ivories" are one and thesame tune.As a musician, I refer to one of them - theone MOST of the time that Blake called"Troublesome Ivories" - as the D flat tune.The OTHER one is the one that Blake MOSTof the time called "Tricky Fingers", and that Ikeep straight as "the E flat tune". It's just thaton some occasions Blake swapped the titlesof the E flat tune and of the D flat tune. TheD flat tune is also the one Blake called"Black Keys on Parade" on some occasions,and "Ragtime Rag" on that one 20th CenturyFox LP. Both the E flat tune and the D flattune are published in the Morath folio, andthe E flat tune is "Tricky Fingers" and the Dflat tune is "Troublesome Ivories". Most ofthe time!Well, since Blake himself used those two othertitles in public, and they even ended up onrecord, we must include them as alternativetitles, with their requisite cross-references.Truckin’ (Rube Bloom–Ted Koehler)Paris Washboard 1293ASM, 1935, Mills; w.

Then “The NewTulsa Blues” on 6/11/27, Victor 21584 (labelconfirms “The New”; credit on both is BennieMoten.Neither title copyrighted 1923-26, thenNew Tulsa blues; melody by Bennie Moten.© 1 c.

Even thoughwe don’t have a Tulsa Blues in this catalog, wemust put both under Tulsa and cross-ref.I went ahead and moved this here to TulsaBlues and combined them, but just to be safe,on 8/7/13 sent Nichols a request to compareand make sure they qualify as the same tune.His response:I've listened to Tulsa Blues and New TulsaBlues, and it's plain that they are the sametune (as in the two Moten Stomps)There's nothing new in the New TulsaBlues. The structure and solo order arevirtually the same as the original.It's just that they didn't bother to registerTulsa Blues in 1923.Turkey in the Straw (Otto Bonnell)Elite Syncopators 1286ASM, 1899, Will Rossiter.Turkey Trot, The (Ribé Danmark*)Red Wing Blackbirds 1018Confirmed by 7/2/12 copyright reg. But this isinteresting: the copyright reg. puts an accenton J. Bodewalt Lampe’s familiar pseudonym:Ribé. I don’t think I’ve seen that anywhereelse. Oops, though: his arranger credit forAlamo Rag is Ribé Danmark. Same for Songof Esmaralda. And get a Girl to Love You.And My Pony Boy. I see now that the accentis almost universally dropped in index/cataloglistings, but it’s on the sheet music.Actually, this is our only Danmark entry, butwhile I keep finding Ribé Danmark tunes withhim as arranger, I can’t find “The Turkey Trot”with him as composer. But Elliott Adamsconfirms that his 1912 (pub. Remick) copy ofTurkey Trot has the accent on both cover andcopyright page.Turkish Towel Rag (A Rub-Down)(Thomas S.
