Joe, a Canadian living in the Toronto area, may be the ultimate 
Teagarden collector - music, film, literature and biogrpical material.
So this advice is well given, Bob.
I have played the Coast Concert album this evening as my tribute.  100 
years is a bit of a key year for birthdate of early jazz standouts. I 
might note that my own father's birth centennial will be in 2006. Spike 
Jones fans be advised, as well as Natural Seven mavens like Jack Mirtle, 
another  Canadian collector of things musically. fun.
I also played a bit of  tape I made in a motel room in Davenport as a 
Bix fest one year  where a number of msicains jammed. Another Teagarden 
w as thee to pplay piano -- Norma. I always admired Charlie T's great 
trumpet work, and little brother Cub was a pretty good drummer. Perhaps 
Mama Teagarden was the best musician of all for she played well enough 
to insprire such a litter.
