JohnnyClesi’s Areolians (w/Red Nichols, Miff Mole),9/22/26, Gennett 3380, 6061; Champion15174*; Gennett Special 2010. *as Twin CityBell Hops.9/14/26 copyright reg. confirms w/m by allthree; no ?, but there seldom is one incopyright.The Champion label is “Ain’t I Got Rosie (Ain’tRosie Got Me).” LC SONIC says Gennett3380 label is same, gives composers asKortlander-Wendling-Raskins, so that’s whereRaskins came from.Ain’t It a Shame About Mame(James V. Monaco–Johnny Burke)Rosy McHargue 1253CD had a question mark.2013 review: Cover doesn’t have a questionmark, and index entries at U. Maine and MTSUdon’t show a question mark, although it couldbe on cy page. Bought from MTSU, noquestion mark on copyright page either.Ain’t Misbehavin’ (Fats Waller–Harry Brooks–Andy Razaf)Dry Throat Five 1151Keith Nichols 1159Louis Mazetier & Neville Dickie 1289Newberger–Mazzy–Thompson 1352Paris Washboard 1359ASM m. FW-HB/w. AR; 1929 Mills. One coverhas “(I’m Saving My Love for You)” as sub oncover only.Ain’t Much Good in the Best ofMen Now Days (Eugene Hunter)Newberger–Mazzy–Thompson 1352Barbara Rosene 1431Rosene title was “There Ain’t Much Good,”and I struggled through an entirely newresearch job at that title because I forgot I’ddealt with it months ago here at “Ain’t.” Will tryto combine my notes below.Oops, not in Rust. Not under There, anyway.Copyright says it’sAin't much good in the best of men nowdays; words and music by Eugene Hunter;pf. and ukulele acc. © Jan. 3, 1927; 2 c. Jan.5; E 655085; Handy bros. music co., inc.,New York.And Rust has it under that title, although with adubious “(sic)” after it, rec. by Bessie Brown,8/26, Oriole 716, Banner 1833, Regal 8143.LC SONIC says Ain’t Much...Nowadays forRegal, but it’s hard to take that seriously, andthe composer credit in LC SONIC was Handy,the publisher (how’d his name get on a recordlabel in any case?); never found either of theother labels.Interesting: RJHA shows title No There with“These Days.” Moanin' Low: A Discography ofFemale Popular Vocal Recordings, 1920-1933,shows it as no There, “Nowadays.” OriginalBessie Brown complete works on DocumentCD is no There, but “Nowadays.” Wikipediaarticle on her says “Nowdays.” Surprisinglydetailed bio sketch on answers.com says“Now Days.”Well, we’re at least sure that—as GertrudeStein famously said about Oakland,California—there’s no There there; but it’s inthe lyrics over and over, so that’s whereBarbara got it.As for the ridiculous now days/nowdays/nowadays/these days jumble, it’s fairly easy totake “Now Days,” as it was on the copyrightand was the title Rust reported, even if hedidn’t believe it (“sic”).And since we put it on a CD with the bad“There,” we’ll need a cross-ref back here fromthere, even though we won’t show it as analternative title.Ain’t Nobody Got the Blues Like Me(Dick Oxtot)Grand Dominion JB 1189Des Plantes’ Washboard Wizards 1421Looks like that was the credit on BarbaraDane’s 1957 LP recording on San FranciscoRecords. Tex W. confirms in 1189 notes.Ain’t That a Grand and GloriousFeeling? (Milton Ager–Jack Yellen)Neely’s Royal Society Jazz Orch 1208Barbara Rosene 1368HSM m. MA/w. JY, 1927 Ager, Yellen.Ain’t That Hateful? (Bill Creger–Edward“Pinky” Gerbrecht–Jules Bauduc)Evergreen Classic JB 1202rec. 2/1/24 on Gennett 5393 by Naylor’sSeven Aces--and utterly unknown anyplacebut there. HOWEVER, the Gennett label(found on YouTube), does indeed creditCreger-Gerbrecht-Bauduc as composers. Butwhere in hell did Evergreen Classic get thosefirst names? And there’s no question mark onthe label. Well, Erdos’s source appears to bethe Retrieval reissue of Oliver Naylor. I guesswe have to trust them. Aha, later I learn that allthree were members of Naylor’s band, so Iguess we can be confident.2013 review: Not in copyright books 1923-25.Gennett label definitely no ? And yet Rust andalmost all other refs include it, so I guess I’llleave it.Ain’t-Cha’ Glad? (Fats Waller–Andy Razaf)Paramount JB of Boston 1205James Dapogny’s Chicagoans 1263Neville Dickie 1397and ASM 1933 Keit-Engel confirms.Aisha (John Lindsay)Chrysanthemum Ragtime Band 1047Aha: 4/27/13 found cover of this online, andthere’s an accent mark over the ‘i’ on thecover: Aísha.
