Fw: Fw: [Dixielandjazz] Relevant trivia

[Jerry Gordon]

OK, folks, time's up! Charlie Coleman took a stab at the trivia (and got
1/2 of #1), but he's the only one other than Bill & Phil who even tried!
So here are the answers:

1. Benny Goodman's "Stardust."

2. Ella Mae Morse's "Cow Cow Boogie." (I said it was "Pursuant to some
recent threads...").

(As to be expected, Bill included not just the answers above, but also
recording dates, record numbers, and eye color of the payroll clerk. Just
kidding about the eye color. But I'll bet he could!)

Bill Haesler and Phil O'Rourke both replied privately, and both had the
correct answers. (Sorry, Phil, but Bill's answer was about 2 minutes
earlier.)

Apparently, the Aussies are far more knowledgable about our American art
form than we are. Or maybe they're just faster responders?

I'll continue to sit on the answers until tomorrow.

Pursuant to some recent threads, these are lifted from "Jersey Jazz," the
monthly mag from the NJJS:

1. What is the flip side of Tommy Dorsey's 78 rpm Victor original
recording of "Stardust"?

2. What was the first big hit for Capital Records?

Answers will be posted tomorrow, if Bill Haessler doesn't ace these in
about 5 seconds.
