Farmerette (Jesse Greer)George Foley 1088Confirmed 10/22/28 copyright reg.Fat Frances (see Frances)Fatima (Egbert Van Alstyne–Loyal Curtis)Levinson’s Trans-Atlantic Saxtette 14301920, says Levinson, transcribed from anEmerson disc. No Fatima in Rust. OnlyFatima in 1920 copyright book is by J. W.Alden, pub. Waterson, Berlin & Snyder. Therewas one song written by Loyal Curtis andEgbert Van Alstyne that year (Marie), butmainly Van Alstyne & Curtis were publishers,15 songs that year alone, many of them byHaven Gillespie. There was no “Fatima”copyrighted in 1919; there were three in 1921,but two were waltzes and none was pub. byVan Alstyne & Curtis, so no point going there.Aha, now see Bruce Vermazen’s note from thediscography of The Six Brown Brothers:Broadway’s Favorite Clowns, on Archeophone:Fatima (One Step) (composer unknown:record label credits it to Curtis and VanAlstyne, who were probably the prospectivepublishers). Emerson 10205, prob. March1920.Well, we’re stuck. Curtis & Van Alstyneprobably weren’t the composers, but theirnames got on the record, and without acopyright to go by, we’re obligated toreproduce them here.Feel So Good (Leonard Lee)Grand Dominion JB 1408No wonder it’s not in Rust or my jazzcollection! It’s the rock & roll song from myyouth by Shirley & Lee. Couldn’t find acopyright entry, but many confirmations onlineand in my pop music collection.Feelin’ Good (Owen Murphy–Milton Ager–Jack YellenBack Bay Ramblers 1374Des Plantes’ Washboard Wizards 14211374 is Murphy-Yellen, 1421 is just Murphy.Aha, Tennessee database has Feelin’ Good,music Owen Murphy-Milton Ager, lyrics JackYellen, 1928, pub. Ager, Yellen & Bornstein.But wait--LC copyright files say Feelin’ Good(from “Rain or Shine”), w/Jack Yellen, m/OwenMurphy, 1/6/28, Ager, Yellen & Bornstein.So who’s right? Perhaps query Jellema.Jellema comes through, pulls sheet music,confirms music Ager-Murphy, lyrics JackYellen. May be a case of the copyright cardbeing for the original unpublished version andthat Ager shined the melody up enough toclaim credit when they published the thing.Feelin’ No Pain (Fud Livingston)Red Roseland Cornpickers 1133Rec.
