[Ron L'Herault]

Well, as a 13 yr old, I found it to be inspirational- as I said it was one
reason why I took up the trombone- and fun.  I still think it is fun.  I
don't find any of the laughing "nightmarish".  I also ordered a copy of YDB
from the then still running Handy Publishing Company and got a nice letter
from W. C. Handy Jr. that I still have. I gave the arrangement to my High
School Band Director.  It may still be at the school somewhere.

> Ron L'Herault's reference to the "Yellow Dog on an acoustic Victor" is
probably to the notorious October 1919 record issued under Joseph C Smith's
name (Victor 18618) - notorious because of the "laughing" vocal by Smith.
I've not heard it and I'd be intrigued by Ron's comment on it - Rust
descibes it as "nightmarish".<
