Pickels and Peppers

I have some performances by Max Morath on vinyl from approximately one billion years ago.

One of the pieces is a mashup - yes, a mashup, from 1907! - called Piano Rollin Rag.  ChatGPT says,

Max Morath did not compose "Piano Rollin' Rag." The song was actually composed by James Sylvester Scott, a prominent African-American composer and pianist who lived from 1885 to 1938. "Piano Rollin' Rag" was published in 1907 and is one of Scott's most well-known compositions. Max Morath, who is known as the "King of Ragtime," is a performer, composer, and music historian who has helped to preserve and promote ragtime music. While Morath did not compose "Piano Rollin' Rag," he has recorded many performances of the song and other classic ragtime tunes.

All this time I thought he did.  But at any rate, the performance I have on vinyl with Max Morath and his band is terrific.  The mashup has some Scott Joplin and a portion that sounds to me like a ragged version of Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.  I wondered for years what that tune was, and I finally found it - it's part of Pickels and Peppers by Adeline Shephard.  My clue was a google search in 2020 that found this tiny reference in a book:

The performance above of Pickels and Peppers is really good!  See if it sounds to you like a sort-of drawn-out version of the main theme of Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah toward the end.

Oh, look, here's Max's version of Piano Rollin' Rag on YouTube, with the Pickels and Peppers theme at 1:58:
