    Friends,
    I have discovered a wonderful source of vintage OKOM 
    and other greats on 78's. It's a Japanese website 
    called Martin's 78 Turntable.  It can be found at: 
    http://78.switch.co.jp/tunes.html.

<SNIP!>


I went there and downloaded a number of files of tunes that 
I wanted to hear.

Listened to "Since My Best Girl Turned Me Down" by Bix, and 
looked at the lead sheet on Sheik's Vol 1, p 168, and, as 
Sheik notes on the sheet, it is note-for-note what's on the 
Bix recording. Sweet!

Then I listened to Bix's "Louisiana", following along on 
Vol 1, p 116 -- similar setup.

Just got Vol 2 from Sheik yesterday, and am eager to start 
playing my way through it.

Sheik has done a great job with these two books!

It's nice to have access to recordings of some of the tunes 
in the books, too.
