[Dixielandjazz] Stolen tunes

AHHH  That's OK then,  right Your Honor?  Oh yes we will pay the 
royalties to ASCAP too no problem   :))

That's about the way most ASCAP lawsuits end folks, and any other 
copyright suits, it's just about who gets the money for ASCAP to 
collect, and they really don't care who stole the tune from whom and 
they are happy to collect the royalties on it for everybody. :))    
Next case ??   Sir Ory ( or Mr. Handy) please pay a small fine to cover 
the court costs, and let's not do this again. :))

   He didn't steal it.  He transformed it.

There has been a recent thread about Kid Thomas stealing a tune and 
turning
it into Algiers Strut (thanks Mr Thomas).

W C Handy stole tunes as I am sure Ory did, but he mainly used 
traditional
stuff, if they had not done this they would have been lost in the mists 
of
time, I was just wondering if it would be interesting to compile a list 
of
stolen or re-used tunes or tunes put into another tune....has anybody 
got
any?
In folk music the oral tradition was and still is strong people using 
and
adapting tunes and words the classic being Bob Dylan who did it a lot.

I will start with a basic one
