   Correction:  the Rampart St. Paraders were not a 'bunch of condonites'.  
They were, in fact, west coast movie studio sidemen,
led by Matty Matlock.  Greats such as Abe Lincon, Nick Fatool and others 
grace these sides.   Some of their sides shared an album with Jammin at 
Condon's and hence the confusion, I believe.  Perhaps some else can sort this 
out.
