[Dixielandjazz] New insult against "Taps" & Buglin' Sam

[Patrick Cooke]

>>>How many Dixieland Jazz fans remember Buglin' Sam?<<<

       I remember seeing Buglin Sam Dekemel when I was about 20 or
so...(what a memory!).  It was Tony Allmerico's gig at the Parisian Room in
New Orleans.  I think it was in the first block of Royal St.
        Amazing lip.
