Hello Bill,

Thanks for your "take" on this.   When I have more time I'm going to run
the speech part of both takes through some of my studio equipment to try
and determine the following :

(a)    If it is the same person or otherwise who does the talking.

(c)    Attempt to make a comparison of Bud Scott who gives a shout on the
OKeh "Snake Rag" with King Oliver (1923), the second "Dippermouth Blues"
(1923) and "Sugar Foot Stomp" (1926) as suggested by Brian Goggin.

(c)    One thing, we are all agreed that it isn't Jelly!!

Best wishes.

Mike.
