Dr. Laroy Borchert asks:
>This is not totally clarinet related, but do you have any of the
other information on the "Oh Didn't He Ramble" tune? I have seen it in a
hymnal as a spiritual with no composer designation. Did W.C. Handy compose
it or arrange it?

The album liner notes credited the song to W.C. Handy, and a cursory search of Google & AltaVista seem to indicate the same thing.
