I'm glad to be of use. I think I've provided similar references for other songs both in _Gatsby_ ("Beale Street Blues," "Ain't We Got Fun," e. ., and _Tender._ I don't seem to be able to find an easy list of all my comments via the You Tube records (doubtless it can be done but I don't know how to do it.) However, there are two places in _Tender_ that mention numerous songs--(Book II, Chapter 5, and some later on). My books are not to hand, but on You Tube you can hear much vintage (cont'd)

Wondedrful. I'm the RA for an instructor that asked me to find this song for her lectures on F.S. F because she remembered her mother singing it years ago. How much will it will make her day to learn of the connections you provide.
Thanks so much.

@Ezdduf4kuZ 78discography says that this record was done on January 27, 1922. I am using a better microphone now, and one of these days I will repost this one so it doesn't sound so 'tinny.'

"Her glance left me and sought the lighted top of the steps where 'Three O'Clock in the Morning,' a neat sad little waltz of that year, was drifting out the open door." --The Great Gatsby,_ Chapter VI
Song dates from 1919--was a hit when words were added to it (1921.) _The Great Gatsby_ occurs in 1922.

Cf. "In the real dark night of the soul, it is always three o'clock in the morning..." --"The Crack Up" (1936)

Thank You! I had not looked up the information on this record. It has been over thirty years since I read The Great Gatsby.
I usually post a 'new' record on Friday night, so check in once in a while. David N
