I'm watching this a day later.
A couple of things. First, Glover Compton was in SF for a while and befriended Sid LeProtti. He heard him play his untitled rag and picked it up. Later on, Compton was in Chicago and got to know Henry Cohen. Cohen heard him play the rag and asked if he could use it. Compton said yes, and that's how it became incorporated into Canadian Capers. Years later, Compton apologized to LeProtti. LeProtti forgave him and said, "Please don't let it happen again."
LeProtti mentioned that Tom Turpin came through SF and might have been there during the Pan-Pacific Expo. It's interesting that two of Turpin's early rags are named after places in NYC, Harlem Rag and Bowery Buck.
As the President of the Blossom Seeley Appreciation Society, I would like to give you an honorary membership. Since the membership is only the two of us... you are now the Vice President. Mike Bernard had a torrid love affair with her back in the teens and it didn't end well. It almost cost Blossom her life.
The Rose Room is a ballroom where Hickman's band played at the St. Francis.
Hedges Bros. & Jacobson started performing in the Rathskellar cabarets like Kid McCoy's in NYC.
Supposedly, Jay Roberts stole Entertainer's Rag from SF performer Jimmy Blyler. Jay Roberts was a colorful man with a sad ending to his life.
Thomas Pitts bounced back and forth between SF and LA.
Wally Rose was a great guy.
Many of the New Orleans bands played Maple Leaf in F.
Interesting you didn't play The Original Texas Tommy Dance aka King Chanticleer. It was immensely popular on the Barbary Coast and Ian Whitcomb often told the great origin story of this Nat D. Ayer tune. Also, no Wallie Herz? (Tickle the Ivories and Everybody's Two Step)
Thanks so much for the history, Todd!! I knew Glover Compton was involved with "Canadian Capers" but wasn't sure on the details. May I be vis-president of the Blossom Seeley Appreciation Society? We will have to discuss the details over a beer in Oxford this summer!! Looking forward to it.
Bravo!
always one of the best! hi! from montevrain concerts FRANCE.RAY
