[Dixielandjazz] Re: Here Comes Your Pappy

[Charles Suhor]

Thanks. You're a treasure trove of info! What a joy it was to hear the 
various Bobcat spinoffs on 78s in those days, even if they weren't 
working groups. No matter
the name or leader, they had that great Dixieland spirit. I think the 
main commonalities in the lineups were Bauduc, Lamare, and Miller, 
though Matlock was pretty regular.--Charlie Suhor
