Dear Bert,
It was.
Its first recording is by:

Percy Humphrey & His Sympathy Five: 
'Percy Humphrey With Paul Barbarin's Band'. 
American Music AMCD-88 [CD]. 

Percy Humphrey (t) Waldron Joseph (tb) Willie Humphrey (cl) Lester Santiago (p) Johnny St. Cyr (g,bj,vcl) Richard McLean (b) Paul Barbarin (d) 
New Orleans, LA. January 1, 1951
    Bourbon Street parade (band vcl)   
    Sister Kate                
    Just a closer walk with thee                
    Put on your old grey bonnet (jsc vcl)     

Very kind regards,
Bill.
