MMD Archives March 1997 1997.03.18 07 Prev  Next "Bullshevicki" By Matthew Caulfield Here's what light the copyright registration (as an unpublished tune, by the way) sheds on Bullshevicki. The title, exactly as registered, is "Bull-sheviki; wild rushin' one step." Composer is given as Ivan Kenbrockovitch; arranged by William C. Polla (violin). The tune was registered March 20, 1919, by Kendis, Brockman Music Company, New York. This is obviously the explanation of "Kenbrockovitch". [ I asked Matthew and Frank Himpsl also about the pseudonym "Kenbrovin". [ Matthew replied: "'"Kenbrovin' is made up from the first three letters [ of the last names of the 3 composers, Kendis, Brockman, and Vincent." [ Ergo, "Kenbrockovitch" = "Kenbrovin", a skilled writing team! --Robbie (Message sent Tue 18 Mar 1997, 16:26:11 GMT, from time zone GMT-0500.) Key Words in Subject:  Bullshevicki
