[Dixielandjazz] Earl Hines question

[Stan Brager]

John;

I have "Just Too Soon" on a Classics release. Their notes show that it was
written by someone named Hines ;). It was recorded for the QRS label on
December 8, 1928. The flip side was "Panther Rag" and issued on R-7039. this
is consistent with the Rust discography.
