  Friends,

  We've been looking for the source of 1919 (aka 1919 Rag, 1919 March) 
  for decades.  Most folks agree that it's too complex to be by Trad. 
  or Anon., but what's the source?  Karl L. King's "Rifle Rangers" has 
  been suggested, but everybody who's looked at it has rejected it as a 
  predecessor of 1919 -- John Gill did that in this group in 2003.

  Well, Marty Eggers, pianist/bassist from Oakland found the 
  answer:  It's "Rough Riders," written by H. A. Fischler in 1914.  You 
  can see it at

           http://www.bandmusicpdf.org/bmpdf/R/RoughRiders.pdf

  The way Marty tells it, he was searching www.bandmusicpdf.org for 
  another piece (which he didn't find!), he was aware of the many false 
  suggestions of Rifle Rangers as the source of 1919 and "couldn't help 
  wondering if the real title might be something similar, that is, 
  another two-word title with the alliteration of the 'R.'"

  And here it is!
