[Dixielandjazz] Fw: [!! SPAM] Ev'ntide

[Ken Mathieson]

Hi folks,

Phil sent the images off-line and I've thanked him by return. However, in 
case anyone is interested in Hoagy's compositions and doesn't already know 
about the University of Indiana collection, you should check out 
http://www.dlib.indiana.edu/collections/hoagy/index.html  There's a pile of 
interesting, not to mention unique, material there.

Regards,

Ken Mathieson
