[Dixielandjazz] New Orleans Happenings - The Bayou Buzz

[mmckay]

My source (sort of unfortunately) was my dad who was a major Waller fan. Dad
died a year or so ago at age 93, so there may have been a little slippage.
Dad was a drummer with his own "pops" band in high school in Flint, Mich. In
the 20's and his best friend played trumpet. Some of you may know the
friend. He was Truman "Quig" Quigley who was later lead foil (and trumpet)
for Horace Heidt. 

Smiles,

Mart (Designated listener)

> Yes. He was playing "sometimes I feel like a motherless child" on the
organ.
The rest of the line is "my my my, I wish I could be there with them."<

We have a winner!
Dear Mart,
Go to the top of the class.
But only 9 out of 10, as the the rest of the line is "I'd love to be doin'
it with 'em." 
That quote (and the haunting organ solo) has been with me ever since we
issued some of the Fats' V-Disc session of 16 Sept 1943 on Swaggie LP S1227
back in the early 1960s. Unfortunately, with some wrong recording dates.
Very kind regards,
Bill.
