[Dixielandjazz] Original Sheet Music was St Louis Blues, Whip Me, Worn Ou...

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

And my sad story here in St. Louis involves a retired physician who knows  
every word of every tune written per the sheet music for ragtime and Tin Pan  
Alley.  He's fussing at me because some jazzer messed with St. Louis Blues  
somewhere along the line and others followed.  He won't pay any attention  to me 
that it's not my personal fault.  Earlier tonight I thought I had him  
distracted when I told him I had found a tune new to me today, "Josephine  Please No 
Lean on The Bell", but he started singing it to me.

Hey  Ginny:

See what happens when you don't have and/or follow the original  sheet music?

You get the Worn Out Blues because someone Whipped You  With Plenty of Love,
which resulted in a Harlem Fuss instead of a Minor  Drag.

And to think, Bill Haesler brought it all up again because of a  Dancing
Chicken that didn't follow the original sheet music  either.

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
