Dave, DJML, and others--
Yes, and you can see the list of songs at
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120769/soundtrack
The soundtrack was put together by my buddy Mark Rubin
(http://www.markrubin.com/home.html), of the Bad Livers and other
fine musical aggregations, here in Austin. He now plays helicon with
Li'l Alice and Her Monkey Butlers
(http://www.alicespencer.com/monkey.htm) at the Hole in the Wall on
Guadalupe on Thursday nights (unfortunately, the nights i play in the
Wurst Band at Scholz's).

>Dear Listers:
>
>Tonight I was watching one of the CineMax channels. They were
>showing a 1998 opus called The Newton Boys, a Texas production about
>a group of Texas brothers and their friends who robbed banks and a
>mail train in the early 1920s. The music included a group of 1920s
>standards, including a couple of Jelly Roll Morton songs, Sweet
>Substitute and Wild Man Blues. The Jim Cullum Jazz Band was among
>the performers.
>
>Earlier, I saw the end of High Society (1956). The last scene
>showed Louis Armstrong, Edmond Hall, Arvell Shaw and Barrett Deems.
>It was an OKOM night on TV. Now, if I could just find a copy of
>Rhythm Inn.....
>
>Regards,
>Dave Stoddard
