  Hats off, Dan to discovering the inimitable Pete Daily. One of my all time 
favorites.
  Pete's classic recording of "South" on Capitol records became a mini-hit on 
juke boxes around the country and helped usher in the Dixieland Jazz revival. 
 He had a terrific band with the great Warren Smith on trombone...some body 
fill in the rest of who was in that band.

  Capital records the late 40s began putting out lots of great Dixieland 
records on 78s with Pete Daily, Sharkey Bonano, Red Nichols, Pee Wee Hunt, 
Wingy Manone and others. Another gem by Pete ws" I Want to Linger."  And my 
favorite, "When the war breaks out in Mexico, I'm going to Montreal."  Pete 
worked mainly in the LA southern  California area.

  None of these gems have been reissued so you'll have to hit on collectors.  
You might try the Jazz Record Mart in Chicago. They have a lot of used 
records and lots of 78s.  their phone # is 1-800-684-3480 or 773-539-5001  
Ask for their collectors dept.

Incidentally, Bob Scobey about the same time had a great record of 'South" 
with a wonderful vocal with Clancy Hayes.  This is on the Good Time Jazz 
label and has been reissued on CD.. Try  www.Worldsrecords.com

Hopefully, one day, Capitol Records will release or reissue those great 
recordings from that period.
