[Dixielandjazz] Country Western & Dixieland

[Randy Fendrick]

Ernie Carson did record an album entitled Country Goes Dixie or 
something to that effect.  Gene Bolen was the clarinet player on the 
album.  In addition Gene Bolen was a jazz clarinet player that was with 
Merl Haggard when he played the Nixon White House.  He has some funny 
stories re: that gig which I won't repeat on this forum.
later,
