[Dixielandjazz] Milenberg Joys

[Steve Barbone]

You can find Milenberg Joys information at the below site. Plus you can view
the sheet music there. Note that it was published (copyrighted) by Walter
Melrose Co. in 1925 and therefore, as Bill Haesler said, not in public
domain.

Note also that Melrose listed themselves as "lyricists" thus double dipping
in the monetary rewards. They did this frequently with many tunes, by
putting in some pretty vapid lyrics. For Milenberg Joys, see:

As an aside, Melrose company is charged with screwing many composers such as
and especially, Jelly Roll Morton. That is one reason some of the musicians
on the DJML view the copyright and licensing laws as bogus. To understand
how JRM and others were cheated out of millions of dollars, by The Melrose
Publishing Company, see:
