[Dixielandjazz] Re: Here Comes Your Pappy

[Bill Haesler]

Dear Charles,
Almost right. 
"Here Comes Your Pappy" on Capitol 15325 (backed by "Come Back Sweet Papa")
is by Nappy Lamare's Louisiana Levee Loungers.
John Best, t; Lou McGarity, tb; Matty Matlock, cl; Doc Rando, as; Eddie
Miller, ts; Marvin Ash, p; Nappy Lamare, g/v; Art Shapiro, sb; Ray Bauduc,
d. LA. 27 Oct 1947.
"Don't Call Me Boy" and "You're Bound to Look Like a Monkey When You Grow
Old" were recorded on 10 Sept 1940 by the Bob Crosby Bob Cats with Muggsy
Spanier, Hank d'Amico, Floyd O'Brien, Eddie Miller, Jess Stacy, Nappy
Lamare, Bob Haggart, & Ray Bauduc.
It was one of the first local records I bought in 1945 when I caught the
jazz bug!
"Don't Call Me Boy" (Bennett). This is probably one for listmate Phil
O'Rourke, our resident expert on 'western swing'.
Bob Skyles & His Skyrockets recorded "Don't Call Me Boy" in San Antonio or
Houston, Texas between 1937 and 1940. Max Bennet was the pianist in this
band and may well have been the composer of this song. We need to hear the
side (it is on a Krazy Kat CD) and compare it with the Crosby version. At
least the time-frame fits.
"You're Bound to Look Like a Monkey When You Grow Old" (Clarence
Williams-Alex Hill) was composed and recorded (by Clarence Williams' Novelty
Band) in mid 1930, so is much older.
Kind regards,
Bill.
