[Dixielandjazz] Albert Ammons, Margie, etc.

[Chuck Kercher]

You don't know me, Butch, but I have appreciated your talent for a long
while. We are lucky here in Sarasota to have Bill Price sitting in with us
once a week. GJB Records has just issued a double CD (The Emporium of Jazz)
with Don Ewell, Jimmy Archey. and Bill on cornet. I suppose that you've
heard the original recordings long ago but I hadn't and was pleased about
the CDs. chuck kercher
