[Dixielandjazz] Status Earl McKee

[Don]

Just returned from  the Jazz in the Olympics festival in Port Angeles 
Washington.  High Sierra was there with sometimes listmate Kit Johnson 
filling in for Earl on sousaphone.  The band sounded great, but Earl and 
his vocals were missed.

BTW, Uptown Lowdown was also there and played Turk's "Duff Campbell's 
Revenge".  Bert Barr gave the history of the tune and seemed to think 
Eddie Condon "watered down" Turk's arrangement for the Columbia LP.
