[Dixielandjazz] I need a track name on a Bob Zurke recording.

[Lowell Busching]

One of my reasons for my recent posts on records to CD was that I am 
putting some of a friends   records on CD for him at a much slower rate 
then either of us hand envisioned.  Thus yesterday I got to a record I 
had overlooked in the stack because it had ONLY a large black and white 
picture on the front and the name of the record producer.  The Meritt 
Record Society along with a logo stating "Limited Edition for Collectors 
Only".

Upon finally turning this record over I found it to be a record with 16 
tracks by Bob Zurke with his own big band from around 1939-40  with his 
"Delta Rhythm Band".  Except for a couple apparent flaws, rather then 
grime,  on a couple tracks, I suspect it is of fairly recent vintage as 
to pressing.? No date is given even on the back as to when this 
recording was produced.  The liner notes are from Marty Grosz, the 
guitarist.  It is Meritt #16 and called, "Sound your Z" and he certainly 
does.  Lots of good solos for a "big band" recording.  This is not a 
small dixieland group.

Everything is listed except for  Track number 11 which comes between 
"Peach Tree Street" and "Holy Smoke".
Bob Ringwald told me there are a few list members who have quite 
extensive files on  record titles, and that I should ask on the list. He 
gave me a name in Australia, but I am having trouble locating it. You 
probably know who you are. If you have this record on file I would 
appreciate getting that song title so I can include it in the CD being 
made for Dan Grant, a former record producer for OKOM. Anyone else who 
may either have this recording or know that title should jump right in. 

Most of the song titles were unfamiliar to me, but of course it contains 
Honky Tonk Train.
