Good morning Bob,
That is a relief.
I was about to start checking my Stomp Off LPs/CDs recorded by European jazz groups.
I should have thought of the Swedish Jazz Kings as they have visited Australian on numerous occasions and we provided accommodation for several musicians each time.
Wonderful people and musicians. And my OKOM.
I have their LP (SOS 1122 - A Tribute to Clarence Williams) and the Lucille Hegamin 1921 original on a CD.

Here is the Clarence Williams' Washboard Band recording for Okeh made on 14 February 1929:

And the Lucille Hegamin original:

It was also recorded in the 20s by Hazel Meyers, Virginia Liston and Laura Smith. 

Kind regards,
Bill.
