[Dixielandjazz] The Torch

[David W. Littlefield]

Note for those considering playing this great tune. The version in my
"Dixieland FB" is from the sheet music. However, there are some differences
between the music and the way I learned it years ago, I think from a Turk
Murphy recording, that make the latter significantly more attractive. I'm
told that (Turk's, I think) pianist Bert Bailes was the one who originated
the West Coast version. 

I'd like to be able to get that version and make a lead sheet, if someone
could provide the info.

Thanks.
