[Dixielandjazz] Re: Pig Ankle Strut

Dear Andy,
Regarding  Cannon's Jug Stompers "Pig Ankle Strut"/"Bugle Call Rag" on
Victor V-38006, recorded on 5 Sept 1928.
Unfortunately, your chances of tracking down the composer for "Pig Ankle
Strut" are pretty slim, unless you can find someone with a copy of the
Victor studio card for the session.
Although the original label of Victor V-38006 provides the composers for
"Bugle Call Rag" (Pettis-Meyers-Schoebel), according to my files, there is
no composer given on the label for "Pig Ankle Strut".
It is probably Gus Cannon or Noah Lewis, as many of the Cannon Jug Stompers
tunes were. But I never presume in things like this.
I am curious. Why would you want the composer for this obscure tune?
I'm playing it again now, out of interest. There echoes of other
Cannon/Lewis tunes.
Kind regards,
Bill.
