[Dixielandjazz] Shoot'em Aunt Tillie vs. Shout'em Aunt Tillie

[David Richoux]

Hi all,

One of the bands I am in decided to try " Shout'em Aunt  
Tillie" (after hearing the recent Fulton St. version) but we ran in  
to one big (and one little) problem. For those of you that do play  
it, is the structure AAB, AABA or something else? (that is the big  
question.)

The little question is: what is the REAL name? I did a search and  
found just about the same number of recordings of Shoot'ems as  
Shout'ems.  What was first? Did Duke change the name or was it some  
hyper-sensitive post-facto publisher? Is there a valid back-story to  
either title?

It seems like I should know this - but I did not find any threads in  
old DJML archives or much info with Google...

TIA,

Dave Richoux
