fixbutte 16th May 2019		As I was already working on it, I have corrected the release dates of all Columbia 15000-D series records from January 1927 to June 1928. You'll find the sources for 1927 in Talking Machine World as well.



Mike Gann 16th May 2019		@fixbutte Much appreciated :-)



fixbutte 16th May 2019		Done that, and also corrected these by Darby And Tarlton: ¤ 15197-D from Oct 1927 to Dec 1927 ¤ 15212-D from Dec 1927 to Feb 1928 ¤ 15254-D from Mar 1928 to Jun 1928



Mike Gann 16th May 2019		@fixbutte Let's change it to October then



fixbutte 16th May 2019		Unfortunately, the 15000-D series was apparently not listed anymore in Talking Machine World from July 1928 on, but continuing the number of releases of the first six months, cat# 15293-D would rather be released in October 1928, not in September.



fixbutte 16th May 2019		When you are working on it, I can give you more release dates of the Columbia 15000-D series that I have found out, here from the first half of 1928 for the start: ¤ Columbia 15201-D to 15210-D were all on the January 1928 list, see Talking Machine World, Jan 1928, p. 119, ¤ Columbia 15211-D to 15219-D were all on the February 1928 list, see Talking Machine World, Feb 1928, p. 110, ¤ Columbia 15220-D to 15228-D were all on the March 1928 list, see Talking Machine World, Mar 1928, p. 107, ¤ Columbia 15229-D to 15238-D were all on the April 1928 list, see Talking Machine World, Apr 1928, p. 106, ¤ Columbia 15239-D to 15247-D were all on the May 1928 list, see Talking Machine World, May 1928, p. 112. ¤ Columbia 15248-D to 15258-D (except 15251-D) were on the June 1928 list, see Talking Machine World, Jun 1928, p. 177.



Mike Gann 16th May 2019		@fixbutte I'm working closely with the catalog numbers and recording dates to try and get the 15000-D series in some kind of order. As far as the melody used in "The Hobo Tramp" goes, I wish my mother was still living because she could probably tell me. Her father was a fiddle player from Mississippi.



fixbutte 16th May 2019		Hi Mike Gann, your required release date change from July 1928 to September 1928 seems very reasonable considering the recording date of Columbia 15301-D a few numbers behind (August 27, 1928). I was wondering from where I know the melody of "The Hobo Tramp" which sounds very familiar to me. Norm Cohen in his book Traditional Anglo-American Folk Music says it was a variant of "Little Red Caboose Behind The Train" which was in print in the 1890s, but I'm sure there were more recent lyrics on the same melody.
