Subject: RE: Gota River JAZZMEN!
We will record another religious CD in April and I prepare the liner notes. That´s why I have asked for help with some tunes:
1. Who was May Taylor Roberts? She wrote "Meeting in the air" in 1925. The tune has the same chord structure as "The Swing", later known as "Washington and Lee Swing", recorded by Johnny de Droit the same year, Tiger Rag, Bill Bailey and many others.
2. Bunk Johnson recorded "Yes Lord, I´m Crippled" in 1942, that´s all I know about the tune. Origin??
3. Elder Solomon Lightfoot Michaux recorded "Because He Remembers Me" in 1933 (reissued on Document DOCD 5326). I don´t know anything about the tune. Help!!
