[Dixielandjazz] 1919 Rag - Rifle Rangers March

[Stephen G Barbone]

According to Jon Erik Kellso, when they were playing the song, John  
Gill told him that the 1919 Rag was lifted from a March written in  
1910. The  title of that March is Rifle Rangers March. Composer is  
listed as Karl L. King.

If you go to the below you tube you can hear the Yerba Buena Stompers  
playing it. Jon Erik is on trumpet and John Gill on banjo

In the expanded info about the tune, note the following exchange:


"The song title is ~ "Somebody please tell me NOW!"

"Well, Jon-Erik Kellso volunteered the info below - -"

"Hi --
The title of this is "1919 Rag." The original title was "Rifle  
Ranger's March."
This from John Gill himself--I had to ask--I did not remember, either,  
so don't feel bad!
Cheers,
Jon-Erik Kellso"
