Colleagues,

I know that "Riverboat Shuffle" was published by Jack Mills in 1939 
with credits to Hoagy Carmichael-Dick Voynow-Irving Mills-Mitchell 
Parish (Parish had just added new lyrics at that point).

BUT was it published in 1925?  The original copyright was filed by 
Hoagy in 1924, with only himself as composer, but it was reregistered 
in 1925 by Jack Mills publishing co., crediting Carmichael-Dick 
Voynow and Irving Mills.  This is likely because it was published 
that way, but I can't find that sheet.
