2. Dolly I Love You w/Dick Long, m/WheelerWadsworth & Victor Arden. 9/30/20, FredFisher Inc. NYWe know that it’s F. Wheeler Wadsworth fromother tunes. [5/12/13: no we don’t: see Bow-Wow] The title on the 2nd copyright card isn’tpunctuated, but the “I Love You” partobviously has to be set off by a comma atleast if not as a subtitle. We really need to seethe sheet music on this. (But alas, it’s not inMRR.)11/9/00: Dave Jasen reports that cover ofsheet music says Dolly I Love You, no parensor punctuation.11/15/00: Aha, Tex sends copyright page.Credits are music by Wheeler Wadsworth andVictor Arden, lyric by Dick Long.

The title is writtenwith varied punctuation on different parts,yet it seems clear that (When You’re Doin’That Charleston Dance) is a subtitle. It isshown in parentheses, in smaller print, andbelow the underlined main title in smallerprint.9/5, Baker at LC: Copyright reg. card isunpublished, 3-10-26, Barbarin & Armstrong,as "Don’t forget to mess around when you’redoing the Charleston."Obviously, we really need to let the originalsheet music settle this. Perhaps could askBamberger or Caulfield to dig it out, sincenone of our collectors (oddly) has it.9/10: When Sager requested the sheet frommusic files, they produced the hand-writtensheet submitted for copyright, possibly in PaulBarbarin’s hand. It agreed with the copyrightregistration files and with Shapiro & Pollock,so we must go with itJohn Gill reports copying the same 3/10/26deposit.It would still be nice to look at actual publishedsheet music, but I can’t find any evidence thatit exists.Don’t Give Me No Goose forChristmas, Grandma (Korn Kobblers)Terry Waldo 1002Terry Waldo & Bo Grumpus 1339Hah: This is the only one of 21 songs on myKorn Kobblers CD that doesn’t have acomposer credit. 1948, Columbia 20517(“This is a late 1948 re-issue to the CountryMusic Series of a recording made possibly asearly as 1941” (and there’s no composercredit on the record label either). Also onMontgomery Ward 10083. Looked forcopyright all through the 1940s, found none.Probably some bit of silliness the bandcooked up in the studio, so Waldo’s attributionmakes sense.Don’t Give Me That Jive (Come Onwith the Come On (Fats Waller–Ed Kirkeby)Paris Washboard 1391Rec.
