[Dixielandjazz] "All the girls go crazy about the way I..."

[D and R Hardie]

Dear David,
The tune is generally regarded as part of the Bolden repertoire under 
the title All the Whores Go Crazy About the Way I Ride.  ( I think 
Danny Barker was the source of the information.) Wooden Joe Nicholas 
recorded it under that title on American Music AMCD 5. His is a bit 
rougher than the Bunk Johnson Yerba Buena one. (Witnesses said Bunk 
could never play loud and  rough  like Buddy.) I have been researching 
it for a current project and tried Googling it the other day but was 
advised only that  it was written by Ory which I doubt. I think it was 
origiinally one of the vernacular jump ups played by Bolden and others. 
I have not been able to get hold of a lyric so I would appreciate a 
copy of it and your lead sheet. I could perhaps comment  further then. 
I too would appreciate any other information list members can provide.
best wishes
  Dan Hardie
