Stomp Off 1001 - Dickbaker.org

Lloyd Garrett added the lyrics six years later(1918, pub. by Frank K. Root). Don’t know ifany of the SOS recordings have the vocal, butI’ve heard it sung many times by jazz bands,so we must keep Garrett in the credits.Dallas Rag (Coley Jones)Bo Grumpus 1388Ventresco says 1927, but nothing in copyrightbooks for 1926-30. Not in Rust. Not in Jasen-Tichenor. Aha, New World Ragtime in RuralAmerica LP says rec. 12/8/28 by Dallas StringBand, Columbia 14290-D, whose mandolinplayer was Coley Jones. But it doesn’t namea composer.NOR does the label on Columbia 14290-D.And in fact, I googled on the title plus ColeyJones and found zillions of hits, all indicatingthat Jones was the star of the Dallas StringBand, and that Dallas Rag was the best tunethey ever did, but nobody, absolutely nobody,suggests that Jones wrote this tune.If Ventresco can’t sing me a hell of a prettysong assigning credit to Jones, I think I’ll haveto drop this credit in favor of unknown. Noteto him couple of weeks ago, follow-up query6/4/13, no response.Does anybody else know about this tune?Dance of the Paper Dolls (JohnnyTucker–Joe Schuster–John Siras*)Levinson’s Trans-Atlantic Saxtette 1430Dance of the paper dolls; words and musicby Johnny Tucker, Joe Schuster and JohnSiras; pf. and ukulele acc. © Sept. 24. 1928;2 c.

So what about this WilliamTracy? This is the only place we have him.AHA! MTSU has this, and it’s w. WilliamTracey like the others/m. Stanley (1923, IrvingBerlin).

Frederick’s notes say,. . . an iconoclastic masterpiece that, whennew, attracted such pianistic talents asPauline Alpert (Victor 21251 and Duo-Artpiano roll 713430) and Rube Bloom (Okeh40901). Continued enthusiasm for the piecewas ensured with its publication as a songwith words by Phil Ponce. It was alsorecorded in orchestral transcription by suchdance as Paul Whiteman (Victor 20972) andSam Lanin (OKeh 40874).There are no fewer than four different entriesfor this song in the 1927 copyright book.Below, I’ve interspersed them with what I canfigure out about the various recordings.Dancing tambourine; by W.

Morel says in notes that "the firstminor theme and the modulation are stronglyinspired by “Back to the Jungle” [1930] (withslightly different melody and harmonies), but
