I always go to the source!
All of the above shown * are available on CD.
The following is not the same tune: "Come On Boys Let's Do That Messin'
Around".Blind Blake Oct 1926 Paramount 12413. 
Nor is: "Messin' Around" by Meade Lux Lewis 8 April 1939 Solo Art 12002
Now for the Goldkette/Bix connection.
None at all, that I know of. At least on record.
Kind regards,
Bill.
