People are probably most familiar with Eubie Blake from the songs "I'm Just Wild About Harry" and "Memories of You". (My favorite, though, is "My Handyman Ain't Handy No More".)

The Amherst Saxophone Quartet put out a record of Eubie's music: Eubie Blake: An American Classic. It includes "Chevy Chase". This record is sheer delight; when it's playing, you just can't feel bad. I also highly recommend William Bolcom and Joan Morris's record Wild About Eubie, though it's long out of print. Bolcom knows ragtime inside-out and no one plays better. If you can find any of his recordings of classic ragtime, SNAP THEM UP!

More on-topic: I strongly doubt any connection with the pipe tune. This is one of Eubie's most famous pieces, and in fact, it's one of the most famous rags of the era. If such a connection existed, mention of it would not be hard to find (and I presume you've googled.) I never ran across a hint in the years I was a ragtime junkie, even when I heard Eubie on interview-type programs playing this piece.
