Hello all,

The Jelly Roll Morton website has been updated with the following 6 articles 
of great historical interest:

Peter Hanley sends an in-depth essay on the Memphis ragtime pianist Ben 
(Benny) French.  This accompanies French's WWI draft registration card, and 
includes much detailed and new information.  Mention of Jack the Bear, who, 
along with Jelly Roll, peddled the Coca Cola and salt consumption cure in 
Clarksdale, Mississippi.

Brian Goggin sends an excellent essay on the St. Louis trumpeter George 
Dewey Jackson.   This accompanies Jackson's WWI draft registration card. 
Mention of Jelly Roll Morton, Harry Dial, Charlie Creath and the ragtime 
pianist, George Reynolds.

Brian Goggin sends a superb essay on the ragtime and riverboat pianist Fate 
C. Marable.   This accompanies Marable's WWI draft registration card. 
Mention of Jelly Roll, Luis Russell and Henry "Red" Allen.

Prof. Lawrence Gushee and Prof. Alan Wallace send an article from the 
Pittsburgh Courier about the 4th July 1929 Arden Downs Classic car race at 
Washington, Pennsylvania.    Ex-heavyweight champion Jack Johnson and Jelly 
Roll Morton promoted the event.
