[Dixielandjazz] FW: Big Butter and Egg Man

[Robert Ringwald]

Ron, 

They are not the same songs. In fact, the song that the accordion player was singing had the same chords as Hello Central Give Me DR. Jazz, except for the final chords. I did not count the measures but I’ll guess that the chords depart from Dr. Jazz the last 8 measures or so. 

The tune that he was singing also was very close to Dr. Jazz.

Here’s a bit of a mystery.  This link https://youtu.be/gmMc7a3MLk4

takes you to a video where the performer, Phil Baker claims to have written the tune.

Percy Venable gets credit for the one Louis did, and Cliff Friend et. al. wrote this one:

Are they the same tune?  Baker’s is close from what  I hear.  Don’t know anyone with the sheet music linked above.   So, is it the same tune?
