[Dixielandjazz] Louis Prima Shuffle & Drummers

[Robert S. Ringwald]

There was a drummer named Smoky Stover but never heard of him playing with 
Prima.  I know he played with Turk Murphy and the Firehouse 5, just to name 
a few.

Of course there was also a tpt player named Smoky Stover.  Both are gone 
now.
