[Dixielandjazz] Boll Weevils' new CD "You Gotta See Your Mama" (redux)

[Dan Augustine]

     Never mind, i get it.  I didn't read the liner-notes all the way 
through, just skipped to the last page, where it said the following 
about Remington. Al Rose (whoever he is) was pretending all of the 
Boll Weevils were reincarnations of far older New Orleans musicians 
(i guess).

     Dan (go ahead, fool the poor tuba-player) Augustine

>     The best one i bought was the new one from the Boll Weevil Jass 
>Band, which has not yet been announced, but it's called "You Gotta 
>See Your Mama" (BCD-51), Jean Kittrell with The Boll Weevil Jass 
>Band.
>     It has one peculiar feature, though, in the notes.  In listing 
>the players, Al Rose says, "Dick Remington has just finished filing 
>the 'Excelsior Brass Band' label off his tuba.  At 97 he still 
>retains all the verve and driving rhythm that made him famous during 
>his years with Manual Perez.  In his horn case is a photograph which 
>bears the inscription, 'To my revered friend and teacher, Isidore 
>Barbarin.'"  I don't know who he thinks he's talking about, but it 
>ain't the Dick Remington who played with the Boll Weevils and the 
>Alamo City Jazz Band and who died on July 26, 1992, and to whom 
>Chuck Reiley dedicated a CD.  Anybody have any idea who he's talking 
>about?
