I have found numerous references in the Anderson fake sheets
of a citation of a record of a tune, but when I listen to the tune,
the recording sounds like a totally different tune of the same name.
An example here is the J. Russell Robinson Rampart St. Blues
vs. the Lovie Austin tune.
In Anderson, it states that Lovie recorded the Robinson tune, but
upon listening to it, I see it as a totally different melody and
the composer attribution on redhotjazz.com lists Lovie Austin
as the composer of the tune her organization recorded.
Anyone care to compare that one on redhotjazz.com
at http://redhotjazz.com/la2.html
vs. the Rampart St. Blues recorded by the Cottonpickers
(and listing Robinson as composer) at
http://redhotjazz.com/cottonpickers.html
and let me know if you agree.
I'm trying to correct these incorrect citations when I do my lead sheets.

Craig
