DC, thanks, but I don't think the record cover can be used to support my theory, because I estimate it to be from the 50s...

Ernest might not have been aware of Blanding's early 1923 private publication, but after the 1928 Vagabond's House came out, it had 6 years to gain considerable popularity and be hard to miss for a South Seas fan like Gantt.... Anything after 1934 Blanding could have copied from Donn Beach.
