[78-L] Who is the artist on these early Columbia's

[Bud Black]

Silas Leachman recorded "Ain't Dat A Shame" in 1901, but (IIRC)it was on the
Monarch label.  Incidentally, this song was a precursor to "Bill Bailey." 
This is one of those rare cases where the "answer" song became more famous
than the original.

I just picked up a couple of really nice early silver & black 10" Columbia
Ragtime Comedy songs with piano and vocal. Here are the numbers and titles: 
Ain't Dat a Shame" Baritone Solo No. 378 and "Every Morn I bring her Chicken
" Baritone Solo No. 1448. "Ain't Dat a Shame" (a ragtime number sounding
alot like a take off on "Won't you come home Bill Bailey) could be Bob
Roberts, but I am not totally certain, while the "Chicken" song sounds a
good deal like Dan W. Quinn, but again I would like to be sure as to who the
artist is. Thanks in advance for your help. According to Steve's dating book
378 would be 1901 and 1448 would be 1903.
