[Dixielandjazz] Re: Lyrics--Dorsey's Marie

[Burt Wilson]

To me, that Berigan solo on Marie is just about the best I have ever heard
and, again, to me, ranks right up there with Potato Head Blues. Both are
very exciting solos which exhibit pure genius on the part of the player.

I have them, just gotta type 'em up with the correct phrasing. I'll send
'em along tonight or tomorrow.
The sheet in my "30s-40s Fake Book" has the Berigan solo.
