Thank you Butch. I posted two comments on Jeff Indyke's Baby Dodds style 
  video, but guess he is censoring them for some reason. You might like 
to check his video and see if you agree with me that he is not playing 
in the Dodds style yet is claiming to so do.

As I know you are  as serious about the music as I am, It is always sad 
when folk try to play it and either get misled or don't bother to study 
the roots.
Keep swinging
