[Dixielandjazz] 6 7/8 string band

[Ken Gates]

While sorting through some old tapes that were recorded from radio 
broadcasts, I redisovered
the 6 7/8 string band.  At least, I think it is.  This was from maybe 25 
years ago.  Maybe it was
a group that Doc Souchon put together?  And were they recreating string 
music from early 1900's?
I heard a very interesting version of "High Society" on this tape.  Hope 
someone on the list can
provide some information----very interesting stuff.  Mandolin, steel guitar, 
guitar, bass were some of
the instrumentation I heard.  Steel guitar?  Somehow I had the idea these 
came along in the 20's.
