Jelly Roll Morton: "Of course, this tune . . . I was inspired by the name from a very dear friend of mine, and a marvelous pianist, now in the cold, cold ground - a gentleman from Florida, an educated gentleman with a wonderful musical education, far much better than mine. Now this gentleman's name was Mr. King - Porter King. And of course, he seemed to have a kind of a yen for my style of playing, although we had two different styles of playing. And of course he particularly liked this type of number that I'm playing, and that was the reason that I named it after him. But not Porter King, I changed the name backwards and named it "King Porter Stomp"
