[Dixielandjazz] FW: FW: Dukes..whoops!

[Jim Kashishian]

In my last post, I quoted Martin.......
>New Orleans considered the Dukes as commercial almost from their beginning.

And, the following sentence was Martin's also.......  
>They were never in the same class with groups like the Basin Street Six
(George Girard and Pete Fountain) or even Al Hirt's early groups.

It may have appeared to DJML that those above words were mine, when I don't
actually agree with Martin's statement.

My bit of the post began with..........
>I, of course, can only speak from the So. Calif side,
