@CroatAndNettles As far as I am aware Morton didn't record this until much later. Of course he could have been playing it before 1929. Although this tune is often attributed to W. C. Handy it was actually written by Bob Cole & J. Rosamond Johnson apparently in1902. They also wrote the splendid 'Under The Bamboo Tree'.
Aka "Didn't He Ramble". Another outstanding song from this great band.
