[Dixielandjazz] Paul Barbarin (was Preservation Hall- part 2)

[Bill Haesler]

Dear friends,
In the Preservation Hall article posted by Norman Vickers the following 
appears:
> As a boy [John Brunious] watched Paul Barbarin, who didn't read or 
> write musical notation, hum "Bourbon Street
> Parade" as his father, also a trumpeter, transcribed; even today, Mr. 
> Barbarin's song is a staple of the Preservation Hall repertoire.

Can this be true?
Although it has been claimed by some writers that drummer Paul Barbarin 
(1899/1901-1969) was an ASCAP member, he is not listed on the ASCAP 
database.
However, he is known as the composer of several jazz standards, 
including:
"Come Back Sweet Papa" (with Luis Russell). 1926
"Don't Forget To Mess Around (When You're Doing The Charleston)". 1926
"Bourbon Street Parade". 1951
"[Paul Barbarin's] Second Line". 1954
And also 'several pop tunes'. Whatever they may be.
Wot say anyone?
Butch Thompson?
Kind regards,
Bill.
