*"Sluefoot" Neil Moret and Joe L. Sanders.

Thanks to their saturating radio exposure many U.S. resident musicians were already familiar with songs by the "Coon-Sanders Orchestra" long before they themselves committed them to record. For example an instrumental version of this number had been recorded for Columbia by an assembly under the direction of prominent black Chicago bandleader Doc Cooke five months before this Victor release. As expected, the spelling of the song's title varied between releases, yet strangely in addition to Joe Sanders a different co-composer is listed on each (?).
