Thanks, Glen, It's now been pointed out that definitive information is, of 
course, available in Jos Willems Armstrong discography "All of Me" which I 
have, and was stupid enough not to think of. Dixon, Godrich, and Rye were 
also named as trustworthy sources, but I don't have these.

Apparently, there were two takes. The first one was issued as "See See 
Rider", and the second one (only available on a few reissues) was titled 
"See See Rider Blues.

Like you, I still don't know where I got the information that Lovie Austin 
was the pianist. Willems states, as do the others, that Fletcher Henderson 
was the pianist, and there's no mention of why Lovie Austin was suggested.

Kind Regards

Bob
