[Dixielandjazz] "The Amazing Mr. Cook" and Jelly Roll news

[Mike Meddings]

Hello all,

The website has been updated with a superb article on the famous music roll
arranger J. Lawrence Cook.

The article, titled "The Amazing Mr. Cook" by Tony Romano, tells of
Lawrence's days at the U.S. Post Office in New York City and his help with
Tony's Graduation Portfolio, for which Tony won an "Outstanding Achievement"
award.

The full-scale article can be accessed from the UPDATED PAGES BOX at :

Here are some details of forthcoming updates to the Library of Congress
narrative project.   The final 14th December recordings, most of which have
never been released to the general public, are being prepared for your
viewing.   Some of the sides include mention of the Pensacola Kid, Ada
"Bricktop" Smith, Kid North, Bob Rowe and the movie star Zack Williams.

Hope you enjoy.

Musically yours

Mike
