[Dixielandjazz] Alphabetising and its pitfalls

[Robert Smith]

Hello Bill and Luis,

Bill, you are lucky you don't own any Cecil Aagard  (Swedish jazz vocalist) records, because in Swedish the "Aa" diphthong (an A with a little o on top) comes immediately after Z in the alphabet. In Danish and Norwegian "Aa" is the last letter (the 29th) of the alphabet, following "Ae" and "Oe".
Numbers are safer, unless you're a Roman Numeral addict.
"Roman Centurions from the right, number!"
"Aye", "Aye, aye","Aye, aye, aye", "Aye, vee", .....

Cheers

Bob Smith
