  So true.  One of the great classics. This was a semi-hit for Scobey and 
Clancy and was on jukes boxes around the country.  This one recording 
introduced them and this music to many people beyond the tradtional-dixieland 
jazz audience.  That honky tonk into and then Clancy does the verse, then a 
blistering break on trumpet by Scobey that takes the band and Clancy into a 
swinging tempo. It doesn't get better than that.  The incredible swing that 
those guys generated has never really been duplicated.

  I worked with Clancy and Scobey for 2 & 1/2 years and I never tired of 
playing it or hearing it. 

  Bob Ringwald and I put together a Scobey reunion band for the LA Jazz 
Festival and Bob did perfect justice to "the Ace in the Hole."
