[Dixielandjazz] Re: Lead Sheet for Big Time Woman?

[David Littlefield]

A jug band I'm in plays it regularly. I think the sheet has notes. Bruce,
jog me if you haven't heard from me in a couple of days.

In any case, I'm glad to have Bill's info on the great line up on the 
Crawley record, and will definitely check it out.
