[Dixielandjazz] Specifically asking Scott Anthony

[Scott Anthony]

Yes, that's me singing. I've been doing this tune since about 1978 and took 
the chords off a Clancy album. The Anderson book is correct but what I've 
always played is:

F / E7 / Am / Fm6

That's 2 beats each. There's a G# (or Ab) in the Fm6.

The correct chord is a D7 there though. Check out the original sheet music:

I still like Clancy's chords better.

but everyone else can chime in if something seems to work...

Scott,
the credits for "Remembering Clancy" say you sang "At The Devil's Ball". 
Whether or not you did, at least you were playing on it.  I hope.

My question is about a specific chord....the lyric phrase "I even had a 
glimpse of my mother-in-LAW" (my emphasis), in the Anderson book, is shown 
as Ami to D7.  But, it sure sounds like a G# in the piano bass note.

Do you have any idea what chord was used there?  My hearing could be all 
off, but friendly neighborhood banjo player says it's a G# too, which sure 
doesn't fit D7...

Thanks, Scott, and whomever else may offer ideas!
