Thanks Steve (Barbone) for the article on Satch and the possibility of
Clarkes "Showers of Gold" being the source/basis of West End Blues.
Having listen to Showers of Gold I can see it may have been so. Clarke
himself has technique that stands up today but the piece is perhaps twee, at
least to me.
Armstrong's intro however, as we all know, is beyond belief in any era. 

Interesting Steve, thanks again, keep 'em coming.
