Do you know about the recent ( a few years ago) reissue of rare Jazz
Ltd.recordings on Delmark?
Muggsy is on two great tunes that includes a swinging 'Washington & Lee
Swing"  Also on this reissue is (are) some great Miff Mole and Doc
Evans...plus Don Ewell.  I had the pleasure or writing the liner notes.
