[Dixielandjazz] Jimmy Halslip ??

[Don Robertson]

We first heard Jimmy Haislip playing trombone in Sammy Gardner's Mound 
City 6 in St Louis, Mo in 1958.  I was there as a Hughes Aircraft 
engineer working as part of a liaison team to McDonnell Aircraft.  The 
Mound City 6 was playing in a club called the Tiger's Den.  Imagine our 
surprise when Jimmy showed up with Cornet Chop Suey a couple of years 
ago at Sacramento.   The following year he was missing having had some 
health/heart problems, but I saw him in Sun Valley in 2005 and he was 
doing fine.

Somewhere I have an LP of the Mound City 6.
