[Dixielandjazz] Judith Durham CDs

[David W. Littlefield]

I just got the following from another mailing list. I've asked for the info
on the CD and will report back.

Meanwhile, if any of our Australian listees have info on the additional CDs
mentioned, and where we can get 'em, it would be great to have the details.

Thanks.
