[Dixielandjazz] Dick Oakley

Hi Dan and Listmates:
Those Oakley boys are NOT related.   Or anyway Leon is not related to either.
Since you're so good at searching out information, Dan, I wanted you to know 
about "Trumpet Kings" by Scott Yanow.  He includes Leon Oakley as one of the 
kings, but refers to him as Dick Oakley.  There is no doubt he means Leon 
since the biographical information is clearly about Leon.  Then, the records 
he recommends are by Leon.  Isn't research fun!  And educational!
