[Dixielandjazz] Panama Rag 1905

[Louis Lince]

Hi Bob,

Panama Rag is a classic ragtime piece...not boring to me but then it would 
be a bland world if we all liked the same. Panama (William Tyers) written in 
1911 for Aida Overton and her Panama Girls is the tune most of us know but 
to the eternal shame of various record producers it became known as Panama 
Rag - because they were too bone idle to check it out when writing sleeve 
notes and giving composer credits.

I could go on about various bandleaders still calling it by the incorect 
title..but let sleeping dogs lie!

Best

Louis
