[Dixielandjazz] Slide sax history

[Margaret Squires]

Rob Verdi, of Side Street Strutters, has a slide sax.  He had it at the Mammoth Lakes Festival in July.  He also has a cd of him performing on the various rare saxophones in his collection.  I don't have the cd here so can't give you any more information.  I can post more later if anyone is interested.

  What a great connection! How did you find this list?

I think there is one in the "Shrine to Music" museum in Vermillion, 
South Dakota. A google search does make a few links and I recall 
seeing one during my brief visit a few years ago.

I have played several tracks from Snub Mosely on a reissue LP 
collection on my radio show on KFJC.
