Dear Bruce,
"Alligator Blues" (also known as "Lagniappe". 1927. John Hyman - Horace 
Diaz.)
Recorded for Victor in New Orleans on 10 March 1927 by John Hyman's 
Bayou Stompers.
John Hyman was later to be known as Johnny Wiggs.
The recording of the tune (both 'takes') is available on CD (Frog DGF 
2).
Kind regards,
Bill.
