[Dixielandjazz] Novelty Recording - Who Are These Guys?

[Bill Gunter]

No question in my my but Dick Baker is right. It is the Palm Springs Yacht 
Club.

I have a recording somewhere with a couple of these tunes on it but I 
haven't played it in some time.

By the way, the "razzberry" stuff is actually called "Bi-labial fricitation 
and is performed mainly by Westy but John Reynolds is equally talented in 
the fricitation department.

Respectfully submitted,

Bill "Phhhhhtttt!" Gunter
