There is a Zig Zag Rag in from 1913 that got inthe 1914 book:Zig zag rag; words by Jack Hoehn, music byL. A. Clark. New York, Len Fleming & co. ©Sept. 25, 1913; 2 c. Jan. 12, 1914; E329631; Jack Hoehn, St. Helena, Cal.Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a copy of itonline. 11/5/13 queried Vermazen. If he can’tcome up with answer, must ask Brier/Adams ifthey have it, then get them to listen to ourrecording to see if it matches.Oops, Vermazen reports that his arrangementgives no details about either piece. It just saysGEARHART & TILTONArr. by J. Wesley TiltonAnd at the bottom of the page:Copyright MCMXIII by Gearhart & Tilton,Fresno, Cal.Publishers of Western HitsSo the identify of the second piece is still upfor grabs. Sent queries 11/6/13 to Brier,Adams, Vermazen, Pinsker. Vermazen reportsthat it’s not Zig-Zag by Andy Burke, 1907,which I had found in the copyright book. AndBrier confirms it’s not Burke, nor is it the oneby Dr. Cloyd H. Duncan of 1902. Agrees thatthe Hoehn-Clark song is likeliest candidate,and that it must have been acquired byGearhart-Tilton at some point or they probablywouldn’t have included in that medley.Another possibility for it isZig zag rag; from Lower berth thirteen,words by Gillespie and Davis, music byHilding Anderson. © Nov. 21, 1910; 2 c.Nov. 21, 1910; E 243651; Chas.

Gono, of Cuba,domiciled at San Francisco, Cal., arr. byChas. Albert. © Feb. 2, 1915; 2 c. Feb. 8,1915; E 359264; Juan Alvorado Gono, SanFrancisco.Wait a minute: Don? Is that a self-styled titlerather than a name? See the notes at MeetMe at the SF Fair--He’s Don J. A. Gonosometimes, J. A. [Juan Alvarado] Gono othertimes. Found the music on this one, and he’sDon J. A. Gono.But title is problematic. Clearly, title on coverand copyright page isTHE ZONEorOn the Exposition ZoneSo it’s a title plus subtitle, and the subtitle iseither “On the Exposition Zone” or “or On theExposition Zone.” Actually, it works if wecheat on the title presentation and make itThe Zone (or, On the Exposition Zone)Let’s do it.Zonky (Fats Waller–Andy Razaf)Kustbandet 1178Jacobi’s Bottomland Orchestra 1266Rec. byCW Jazz Kings, 12/3/29, Columbia 14488-D,OKeh 8918.Bill Brown & His Brownies, 12/26/29,Brunswick 7142.McKinney’s CP, 2/3/30, Victor V-38118,Bluebird B-5728 et al.Fats, 3/11/35, in medley that ended up on LPissue.Confirmed by 9/11/29 unpub. copyright reg.,w.
