Songs written before 1923 are in the public domain. Songs written between 1923 and his death in 1938 are protected for 95 years from the publication date.

Sound recording copyright is another matter. Prior to 1978, sound recordings were subject to state law rather than federal law, and will not enter the public domain until February 15, 2067.
