[Dixielandjazz] Turk Murphy band horn-placement

[G. William Oakley]

Hi Mike:
Jimmy continued with Turk into the 80's.  He was a black man who sang with
the ban on a part time basis only when the band was at Earthquake's.  I
don't know if Jimmy is still alive.  He was an elderly man when I first saw
him in the 70's.
Best,
Bill
