James: &c &c.

Bay Street, Nassau was Tin Pan Alley (Bahamian sub-genre = Goombay.)

Your alternative is a 'folk process' on the 1900-1950 Bahamian equivalent of the Las Vegas Strip or New Jersey Boardwalk. Zora Neale Hurston (folklorist) and Gertrude "Bahama Queen" Lythgoe (bootlegger) boarded at the same Bay Street hotel (The Lucerne, D. Donnelle, prop., the same location Lomax recorded Bellamina in 1935.)

Just find the Peas an' Rice references that are not on Bay Street, Nassau and post them here as I have done for all the TPA stuff. And if you're going to remark on the great American recordings don't obfuscate who the composers of record were (see Cowley, Saunders et al.) Simple really.
