[Dixielandjazz] MORTON SITE UPDATE

[Mike Meddings]

Hello all,

The Jelly Roll Morton website has been updated with the following articles
:

The Indianapolis Freeman, dated Saturday, 31st August 1912.

NOTES FROM GREAT LA VITA SHOW CO.   The great demand for the medicines of
the La Vita Medical Company . . . . Mention of J. C. Spikes, cornet; and B.
F. Spikes, alto; . . .

A great piece of American social history.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

The Indianapolis Freeman, dated Saturday, 10th June 1916.

"Jelly Roll," just arrived in town from St. Louis, Mo.  Working at the
Fairfax hotel [Detroit].    He is the town talk, because he wrote the
"Jelly Roll Blues."

The 2 articles above are from Alan Wallace and can be found in the "On the
Road, 1905 - 1917" section on the main Morton page :
