[Dixielandjazz] Re: Storyville "Blue Book" cover photo?

Amendment to the following, prompted by Bill Haesler saying that 
holding down the mouse-button didn't work in Mac's OS X.
     If you're braver than i am and are running OS X, you have to hold 
down the 'Ctrl' key while holding down the mouse-button on the image. 
This should pop up the download-window.  (Thanks, Bill, for reminding 
me that there's a new millennium out there....)

Don and DJML--
     If you do a Google-search on "Blue Book"+Storyville (typed 
exactly like that, with the double-quotation marks and no spaces), 
you'll get a number of hits of web-pages mentioning both items, some 
with displays of the cover of and pages within the Blue Book, such as 
(among others):

1) http://www.confederateordinance.com/bluebook.html

2) http://www.buddystall.com/cgi-bin/display.cgi?sku=1645

     Then you can download the graphic (on a Mac) by clicking on the 
image and holding down the mouse-click button, which will pop up a 
window that will let you download the image; on a PC, i'm not sure, 
but possbily a right-click will do the same thing.
