[Dixielandjazz] MORTON SITE UPDATE

[David Palmquist]

Thank you for telling us of this site, Mike.  It's a delight and I've 
flagged it as a favourite.  Also love the midi files.  By the way, I think 
Morton's compositions are all in the public domain now in Canada, since he 
died more than 50 years ago.
