[Dixielandjazz] Ya'll got Altzheimers

[Ron L'Herault]

I thought every one's talking 'bout Sammy 'cause Sammy's got the best go
round.

(I never could quite make out what was being sung on that tune.)

Come on fellas. some of you Older than me guys must have some stories or
reccollections or even lies about these groups.   This is supposed to be THE
definitive list of Experts on Traditional Jazz, and I got my butt chewed out
a
couple years ago because I admited I did not know who Clarence Williams was.
Now if a Johnny come lately like me can know about these guys the rest of
you
must be witholding a shipload of information.

So far the only guy who has responded to this post has been my buddy Tito
Martino from Brazil.   But then again maybe the only guys who ever played
Dixieland or Traditional Jazz  really were Bix. Louis, Buddy Bolden, Turk
Murphy and
Lu Watters or Dukes of Dixieland,   :))

How about some recollections about the following groups from some of the old
timers who saw or played with them.

Louis Dumaine and his Jazzola Eight:

Sam Morgan's Jazz Band:

Pickette-Parham & Apollo Syncopators:

Bennie Moten & his Kansas City Orchestra:

Frenchy's String Band:

Ben Tobier & The California Cyclones:

George McClennon's Jazz Devils:

or How about Frankie Franko & His Louisianians:

That ought to keep some of you busy in the archives for a few days and stir
up some interesting threads.


Is there anybody out there who ever heard The Mathews Band from Lockport,
Louisiana Live??


Cheers,

Tom Wiggins
Inquiring minds want to know.
