Except my original question concerned GG 126*2*! The tune is titled
"Draggin' the Dragon,"
and the composer appears as "Handy." The performance is much "jazzier" than
the usual GG
"B sides," and my guess is that it is a Black band...which is why I wondered
if this was a
Black Swan original. My currently-accessible copy shows only "106" as a
matrix number;
however, I dimly recall having seen a matrix of "P106" on another copy.
"John Henry Blues" (105) shows up on GG's "race series" (7###) and is listed
in Rust's
JR discography (under "New Orleans Blue Nine")...this is also very likely a
BS original?!
