Q,

After rereading your post if what Louise Rand Bascom collected was Kitty Kline it definately is the wrong song and the 1909 Brown date refers to the wrong song, not Little Birdie.

Land Norris called his song Little Birdie, but it's a version of Free Little Bird- it's not the right song. Hammond's is definately "Little Birdie" as is the Coon Creek Girls.

Gus Meade also was confused by this and has not separated the songs correctly.
