The title on the original 1923 Gennettwas Weather Bird Rag, and the credit was justArmstrong. But oh, for chrissake, the OKehArmstrong-Hines label credits just Oliver, butthe Columbia 36375 label credits Armstrong.But the OKeh has to be a mistake. Someoneat OKeh, knowing that it was originally a KingOliver recording, must have presumed thatOliver wrote it. This is both illogical and fiveyears after the fact; both the original copyrightand the original label said Armstrong. But atleast now we know how the confusion arose.Wedding Cakewalk (Wally Rose)Original Salty Dogs JB 1115Turk Murphy’s liner notes confirm Rose, say itwas written for wedding of Esther & CharlesCampbell, i.e., Duff Campbell of Revengefame.

NO Owls, 4/14/26, Columbia 688-D.Hmm, copyright differs slightly:West end romp; melody, by W. G. Padronand E. H. Ferrer. © 1 c. May 14, 1926; E640920; E. C. Crumb, New Orleans.Well, Rust says that Bill Padron is on cornetand Mose Farrar on piano. So who’s right?He’s Ferrer in the index as well, and whilethere are several Farrars in the index, there’sno E. H. Farrar. RJHA says Bill Padron &Mose Farrar, which probably is where ourcredits came from. Well, wikipedia calls themby those names too.But oh, crap: The Columbia 688-D label saysPadron and Ferrar, thus splitting thedifference.heypally78rpms.com says he’s Edward“Mose” Ferrer, which squares both with thecopyright spelling and one of the initials. It’ssomething of a toss-up, but I’m going with thecopyright reg. and heypally. (And the spellingmatches that of the screen actor Jose Ferrer.)Haesler also finds that Sudhalter’s LostChords calls him Edward “Mose” Ferrer andNew Orleans Jazz: A Family Album calls himEdward Harry “Mose” Ferrer.West Indies Blues (Clarence Williams–Spencer Williams–Edgar Dowell)Louisiana Repertory Jazz Ensemble 1029Charquet & Co 1039Louisiana Repertory Jazz Ens.
