[Dixielandjazz] Take Your Little Rock Shout

[Dick Baker]

>That's an amazing little melody!


>When James P. Johnson wrote it in 1921, it was "Carolina Shout."

When Pete Mandell wrote it in 1925 it was "Take Your Pick."

When Joe Sullivan wrote it in 1933 it was "Little Rock Getaway."

I think I'll write it tomorrow and call it "Chameleon Hop."
