Dear friends,
If you don't have a copy then you are missing out.
A great read, research resource and a mine of unexpected information.
I know, I refer to it a lot.
Don't be put off by Brian's implication that it may be confined solely 
to New Orleans-born musicians.
The full title of this fine work is "The Song For Me. A Glossary of New 
Orleans Musicians (and others of that ilk)" and
it covers musicians world-wide playing 'New Orleans Music' - a 
much-misused term - including a few DJMLers.
Kind regards,
Bill.
