[Dixielandjazz] Birthdays & jazz

[Anton Crouch]

Hello Bob

Many thanks for your kind greetings.

If I've calculated correctly there were indeed some very nice jazz
recordings made on your birthday.

Both Alex Bartha and his Hotel Traymore Orchestra, and the Washboard Rhythm
Kings recorded for Victor at their Camden studios on 6 July 1932.

The coupling, on Victor 24059, of the WRK's "Tiger Rag" and Bartha's "It
must be swell to be laying out dead" was a best-seller and stayed in
catalogue for years.

All the best
Anton
