[Dixielandjazz] Chords On Coney Island Washboard

[Bill Gunter]

Hi Bob,

Regarding the chords in the 25th and 26th measures of the chorus to Coney 
Island Washboard, the Firehouse Jazz Band fake book (which is a pretty good 
source) shows the chords would be Db D dim.

Actually the Firehouse fake book has it in Bb, but transposing to Ab makes 
the 26th measure D dim.

Anyone else find anything different?

Cheers,

Bill "Thimbles" Gunter
