[Dixielandjazz] Re: Totally off topic - for W. C. Fields fans

[Bill Haesler]

Dear Dave (plus Bill, Charlie, Mike, et al.)
Being a WC Fields fan from down-under since I wuz knee-high to a
grasshopper, I immediately assumed that your reference to Cardinal Godfried
Daneels (no disrespect intended) was to the many aliases used by WC Fields
in his movies, radio and TV shows.
I had forgotten about the "Godfrey Daniels!" expression.
Hereunder are some of the aliases and character names used by the great one.
Totally off topic?
Not for me. WC Fields (along with Laurel & Hardy and the Marx Brothers) was
part of the Jazz Age. Well, for me he was.
Kind regards,
Bill.
