[Dixielandjazz] Question for the history buffs/ Kress Horns

[D and R Hardie]

Hi Kent,
               Jelly Roll Morton called them Kress horns. You'll find an 
illustration  and excellent description via google  at  
tcjs.org/pdf/Coda_Nov06.pdf . It's a review of a book Charles Suhor 
also reviewed on list recently. The waffle man mentioned was probably 
Buglin Sam  The Waffle  man who played a bugle on his father's waffle 
cart. He recorded with a white band later- Sharkey Bonano or Wingy 
Mannone I think - Bill Haesler will know.  BTW I do not concur with the 
assessment of Buddy Bolden mentioned in the review.
regards
Dan Hardie
